Our Dining Table Construction
Key Construction Steps
-
Wood Sourcing
- High grade lumber is sourced from reputable lumber yards, selected based on stringent grading standards
-
Cutting and Splicing
- Lumber is cut along the width and spliced into boards
- Sections with major defects such as large knots, wormholes, decay, or unsound knots are identified and removed
-
Kiln Drying
- Freshly harvested lumber undergoes kiln drying for over 80 days to reduce moisture content from 30% – 50% to 8% – 12%
- This process is essential to minimize the risk of warping or deformation during use
-
Tabletop Creation
- Boards with matching grain patterns are joined using glue and pressure clamps to form the tabletop and other wooden components
-
Woodworking
- Precision machines are used to cut and shape components like the tabletop bevels, table apron, and legs
- Mortise and tenon joints are also crafted at this stage for strong and durable connections
-
Assembly and Inspection
- The tabletop and apron are joined using mortise and tenon joints further reinforced with glue
- Each piece is carefully inspected and the table is test assembled
-
Sanding
- All wooden components are sanded a minimum of four times both by machine and hand for a smooth, refined surface
-
Finishing
- Each wooden piece receives at least four coats: two base coats and two top coats to ensure protection and aesthetic appeal
- After finishing, the pieces are air-dried for at least 72 hours to eliminate residual odour
