White oak Parsons dining table
A long solid white oak dining table built as a single monolithic block — chunky square legs mitred into a thick top with a continuous grain wrap, hand-finished with a soft whitewash oil that keeps the wood pale and open.
Finished — workshop
Overview
A long Parsons-style dining table built entirely from solid white oak, designed to sit under a low pendant in a townhouse dining room. The top is glued up from carefully matched boards to keep the grain running along the length, and the legs are cut from thick stock so the piece reads as one solid block rather than a top on four sticks.
The corners are mitred so the grain wraps continuously from the top down the legs — no visible end grain, no hardware, no apron. Inside, hidden draw-bolts pull the legs tight into the top and let the whole table be broken down for delivery through narrow doorways.
Finished by hand with a whitewash hardwax oil that tones down the yellow in fresh white oak and keeps the surface open and repairable. Photographed on the bench during glue-up and assembly, then in the room where it lives.
