11-Foot Walnut River Dining Table with Black Epoxy

This 11-foot live edge walnut dining table has a black epoxy river running the full length between two walnut slabs. The natural edges stay where the tree put them, and the black river pulls the eye down the middle of the table.

Why a black river

Clear and blue rivers are the look most people picture. Black gives a river table a quieter, more modern feel. It lets the walnut grain and the live edges carry the design, and it ties in with black metal legs and darker rooms.

Why fill the cracks and voids

Walnut slabs come with natural checks, knots and small voids. Filling them with the same black epoxy keeps that character visible while giving you a flat top you can actually eat on, wipe down and set a glass on.

Handcrafted in Indiana

Like every TRM Woodcraft piece, this table was handcrafted to order in Indiana from approved drawings, then wrapped and delivered white-glove.
