Because of my love and interest in wood, I had wanted to make a custom-made solid wood table for a long time. After months of envisioning the project, I decided to finally realize it in the spring of 2016.

The first person I turned to for such a project was Quirin Schächle. He is an acquaintance of the family and lives in the neighborhood. I contacted him and told him about my idea. Shortly afterwards, we met to discuss the concept of the table. After some very competent advice from Quirin, the rough plan for the solid wood table was ready and nothing stood in the way of the go-ahead.

The right wood in the right combination

For the wood selection, we went to a regional timber merchant, where Quirin advised me on the decision and explained what I should look out for. Once we arrived at the wood workshop, we processed the wood so that we could then put together the image of the table top. I really liked this step, as it was very interesting for me to see what you have to pay attention to when putting the individual boards together to make a table top.

A lot of work goes into a custom-made solid wood table

Many more hours of work followed and I had to admit to myself that I had the wrong idea about the effort involved in building a solid wood table. However, as I really enjoyed working in the wood workshop, this was not a big problem for me. Quirin accompanied me through every step of the process with his professional expertise. I was and still am impressed by Quirin's love of wood and the precision and passion with which he works. I was also infected by his enthusiasm for his work and I think the result is worth seeing.

Now my solid wood table is finished and I am very happy with my work, which could only take on this quality thanks to Quirin Schächle's support. The project is finished and so is the collaboration with Quirin. The hours I spent with him were very enjoyable and he gave me a deep insight into wood as a material." (Nicolas)
