Rust & Root is a full service custom workroom. Lead time for large tables is sixteen weeks. Some large slab tables may require longer lead times for material sourcing. Below, you'll find a gallery of past larger scale tables which include dining tables, conference/boardroom tables, countertops, bar tops and shelving.

Monkeypod Live Edge Dining Table

Measuring ~45"x78", this table is perfect for six people! It is made of two boards from the same log, glued together in a mirror image called a "bookmatch."

Wedge Detail

These slabs had a strange cutout on one of their ends. In order to keep the width as wide as possible, we added an abstract sequence of wedges, which also adds to the overall texture of the piece.

Carved Detail

Another interesting bit of texture was added to this corner. The tree had a limb trimmed during its life, which is evidenced by the scarring in the sapwood around this corner. We carved the scarred area to both match and contrast the surrounding texture.

A little detail of the figure in this incredible slab.

Single slab monkeypod dining table

This piece was trimmed to a rectangular shape, with a matching midcentury-inspired base.

This slab has a rare amount of crotch figure, as you can see in the foreground of this photo. This figure occurs when weight of the limbs stresses the trunk, and the area that the limbs branch out in a Y shape is called the crotch. Crotch figure is common in monkeypod, but this large of an area is rare!

The figure in these slabs is incredible.
