Ten feet of reclaimed wood on a trestle base built the way farmhouse tables have been built for centuries: two angled sawhorse ends, pegged at every joint, tied together by a full stretcher rail underneath rather than a single bolt or bracket. The Dordogne is the largest tavern-style piece in this collection, and it carries that scale with real presence, a three-inch top set on four-inch legs, proportions chosen to give a table this long the gravity it needs without ever reading as bulky .Every board is reclaimed solid wood, and the surface tells you so at a glance. Expect small chips along the edges, a few tight cracks that have settled into the grain over time, and tone that shifts from warm gold to pale silver as it runs the length of the top, no two stretches quite the same. We leave every mark exactly as it came to us; sanding it smooth would erase the very thing that makes this table worth having.
Pull it into a room built for real gatherings, holiday dinners, long Sunday lunches, the kind of table where extra chairs always end up at the corners. Seats eight with room to spare, ten when the occasion calls for it.

Q&A
•What makes trestle construction good for a table this large? A: The stretcher rail running underneath ties the two end supports together along the full length, which keeps a ten-foot span from flexing under regular use. It's the same reasoning that's kept farmhouse tables built this way in service for generations.
•Will this seat ten people comfortably? A: Eight comfortably with standard chair widths, ten if you're using narrower seating or hosting a closer, more festive table.
•How much does the grain vary across a top this long? A: Noticeably. It's built from multiple reclaimed boards rather than one uniform slab, so the tone shifts from warmer gold near one end to a paler, more silvered tone elsewhere along the top. That variation is part of what makes it read as genuinely reclaimed rather than manufactured to look that way.
•What's the significance of the name? A: The Dordogne region of southwest France has a long history of farmhouse craftsmanship, exactly the tradition this trestle base comes from, and it felt like the right fit for the largest piece we built this way.
