Japanese dining table

"JAPAN" PEAR AND WALNUT DINING TABLE, DESIGNED BY DESIGNER DIRK MEYLAERTS. "A DIFFERENT WAY OF CONSTRUCTING A TABLE WITH A CENTRAL ELEMENT THAT STRENGTHENS THE TABLETOP AND WEDGES THAT EXERCIS VERTICAL FORCE. THE TWO V-SHAPED TRESTLES ARE THE MOST MINIMALIST, SELF-SUPPORTING SHAPES POSSIBLE. For this table, I used the best-preserved boards from my wood stash: those with the least twist, so they could be used lengthwise across the table and retain a considerable thickness after planing."
