We recommend starting your selection 3-4 months before your preferred date of delivery. This will give you ample time to make a considered decision.

Who
Our sales adviser will be present to guide you through the selection process, and provide any explanations you may need to make an informed choice.

How to Source

Our wood slab sourcing service* is complimentary. Here's how it works:

1. Make an appointment with an adviser, to discuss the specifications of your project. This includes dimensions, budget, wood type and any other salient details.

2. This appointment is usually conducted at our showroom, where we will have reference materials to help us get a better understanding of what you're looking out for.

3. With a good understanding of your project, our team will connect with the timber mills to shortlist potentially suitable options for you. This is subject to availability.

4. Photos of suitable pieces will be Whatsapped to you, and more detailed advice given based on the specific slab (where applicable).

The process of finding a suitable piece typically takes between 1-2 months.

5. A non-refundable deposit is required, to ship your selected wood slab. Please note that the selected slab is not reserved until payment is received.

The shipping time for a wood slab is approximately 2 months, depending on the specifics of your project.

*We recommend starting your sourcing journey 6 months before your preferred delivery.

How to Customise

The Table Guy dining tables are fully customisable. Yes - that means leg frames too. Some customisations are complimentary, while more complex ones will attract workmanship fees.

Should you require customisation, we recommend making an enquiry via Whatsapp to our sales team at +65 8499 8989 with details on what you have in mind, so that you can get an indicative quote and advice to consider whether to proceed with your project.

Learn More About Black Walnut Below:

From space-efficient and practical multi-panelled boards, to dramatic and stunning bookmatched/ single slabs, The Table Guy's curated selection of walnut slabs has something for everyone.

Multi-Panelled

Multi-Panelled Walnuts deliver the best balance of economy and practicality, with sustainability and affordability.

Our selection ranges from subtle and sleek to dramatic and exotic, but one thing they all have in common is gentle live edges and regular form factor, for optimised space efficiency.

Bookmatched

Bookmatching is a brilliant technique that involves piecing two consecutive walnut slabs from the same log. This method not only provides more practical sizes for daily use but also allows you to enjoy more of that unique walnut character.

Expect more organic shapes from the Bookmatched selection, and richer colour variations within the slab as these are built from older trees.

Single

Single slab walnuts are the ultimate luxury. At a typical growth rate of only 15-24cm (diameter) every 20 years, to achieve practical sizes of 90cm and above in a single trunk can take over 100 years.

Rare and wildly unique, single slab walnuts are perfect as art features or heirloom statement centrepieces to be enjoyed for generations.

Questions from nearly 1000 clients

Black Walnut FAQ

Is it true that panelled wood is more prone to splitting than single slabs?

This is not true.

With modern industrial joinery and adhesive techniques, panelled walnuts are just as sturdy as single slabs of wood.

In fact, panelled material is the favoured material of choice for furniture-making (simply take a look at any built piece of furniture (eg cabinet/ tv console/ bedframe)!

Plus - in our experience with nearly 1000 pieces of walnut delivered, we can confidently say that we do not experience any difference in rate of incidence between panelled and non-panelled wood slabs.

Is Black Walnut the best type of wood?

For the purposes of use as a dining table, Black Walnut is no better or worse than other wood types!

Sure - if you're building load-bearing furniture such as chairs and cabinets, then it is a preferred wood type (just check out all that mid-century vintage furniture!), but for the purposes of a slab table, walnut is just as great as any other hardwood.

So for dining tables, we recommend making your decision based on aesthetics! Do you love the look, shape, and colour of walnut more than any other type of wood?

If yes, then walnut is the best type of wood for you!

What is South American Walnut?

"South American Walnut" is a made-up term that describes the location (South American) and the wood colour (Walnut), it is not the same species as Black Walnut or its relatives.

This is an industry-coined term that has been used to help consumers understand the origin and colour of what they are purchasing, not the wood type. A side-by-side comparison of the two types of wood will show that they are vastly different species.

To avoid confusion, The Table Guy only uses the term "walnut" to describe slabs from the walnut species itself. We do not use it as a colour descriptor.

Product Care

Made by a user, for users.

We're skeptical of manufacturers' claims too - this is why we personally tested a whole range of wood finishes, so you get the one that is not only great for protecting your table from daily use, it's also easy to maintain and allows you to enjoy more of the wood character for decades to come!

Made for Real Life

The Table Guy solid wood slabs are finished with Rubio Monocoat - a Belgian hardwax oil technology that not only coats your wood slabs, but binds to the cellulose of the wood fibres for long-lasting protection.

Remarkably stain and heat resistant, now you can enjoy worry-free dining without interrupting a calm morning or family dinner by chasing after spills and lunging for coasters. Simply wipe up after meals (don't allow spills to dry on your table) and all will be well.

We've got a whole stress test series on Instagram, follow us there to check it out.

Easy Maintenance

The secret to sustainable furniture, is making it easy for you to maintain. Too much furniture ends up in landfills before their time, just because they look "worn out" or "damaged".

DIY your own repairs and maintenance with the VOC-free Rubio Monocoat system, right in the comfort of your own home. If you've got young children around, we recommend keeping a bottle of Rubio solvent on hand for the occasional colouring accident.

Not confident/ don't have time for the work? No worries - The Table Guy provides support services at reduced rates for our products!

Future-Proof

Let's keep it real - wood slabs are a barely-renewable resource. For this reason, we actively encourage you to reuse and repurpose your Table Guy furniture wherever possible.

Simply store in a bright, shaded area indoors, and keep dry. Annual DIY oiling is recommended for high-traffic areas (prevention is better than cure!).

Restore your table surface to new if you need to rehome it one day, or transform it into a bench or shelf with our carpentry support. We're here to support your sustainability journey.
