繼上次廖先生將自家收藏多年的肖楠木材改造成桌板大獲好評後，這次E在網站上看到我們的修復實例，決定將家中珍藏的肖楠木一枚板交給木島處理，我們安排司機協助收送，為他們新家打造一張獨一無二的餐桌。

 

Following the success of Mr. Liao’s incense cedar table transformation, another client, E, discovered our restoration projects on our website and decided to entrust Bokto with a cherished single-slab piece of incense cedar from their collection. We arranged pickup and delivery, helping them create a one-of-a-kind dining table for their new home.

 

木板原始狀況與評估

 

這塊木板雖然擁有歲月累積的紋理與香氣，但一枚板的厚重造型與尺寸略顯不符現代居家使用，加上木板本身有開裂的狀況，除了安全疑慮以外，尺寸也不適合製作一張六人餐桌。經過木島評估後，建議採用「拼板」的方式製作，如此一來能有效保留並活用這塊珍貴的肖楠木材。

 

Original Condition and Evaluation

 

Although this slab had beautiful grains and a rich natural scent from years of aging, its heavy form and limited dimensions made it impractical for a modern six-person dining table. The slab also had cracks that raised safety concerns. After careful evaluation, Bokto recommended reworking the slab into a panel-style tabletop. This not only preserved the unique character of the wood but also allowed for better usability.

 

 

從剖木到拼板

 

木工師傅從剖木開始，依據木材的紋理與裂縫情況，規劃出合適的剖線，彎弧及不適用的裂痕在這個階段會被淘汰，再使用帶鋸剖出所需的寬度與厚度。接著進行刨木，將每片木料刨製成相同厚度，之後再進行拼板與精細研磨，讓桌面平整細緻，展現木紋本色。

 

From Sawing to Panel Assembly

 

Our craftsmen began by evaluating the wood’s grain and splits to determine optimal cutting lines. Warped or severely cracked sections were removed during this stage. Using a bandsaw, the slab was cut to the required width and thickness. Next came planing, ensuring each piece reached the same thickness, followed by jointing and precision sanding to create a smooth and seamless tabletop that highlights the cedar’s natural grain.

 

桌腳設計與修色

 

桌腳則搭配溫潤自然的栓木實木，外型設計上採外斜角度，增添視覺上的協調與構造穩定感。桌腳的表面則選用與桌板相近的顏色進行噴漆修色，讓桌子整體顏色相同。

 

特別的是，客人希望能在餐桌下方設置層板，方便收納熱墊、報紙等生活雜物，同時不影響坐姿的腿部空間。因此我們在設計層板高度時將位置調高，且將層板縮窄，確保實用與舒適兼具。

 

Table Leg Design and Color Matching

 

For the table legs, we used solid ash wood with a gentle natural tone. The legs were angled outward to enhance both visual balance and structural stability. They were then color-matched to the tabletop with a similar-toned finish to ensure harmony across the entire piece.

 

The client also requested a lower shelf under the table for storing heating pads, newspapers, and other everyday items—without interfering with legroom. To achieve this, we raised the shelf height and narrowed its depth, balancing practicality and comfort.

 

 

每一次自家木材的改造案，都是一段與家人記憶的延續。這張餐桌代表了一份時光的承接—家中也有閒置的木材嗎？歡迎聯絡木島一對一諮詢，我們會很樂意與您一起將木材改造成實用的家具。

 

Each custom furniture project using a client’s own wood carries a story and a piece of family memory. This table isn’t just a piece of furniture—it’s a continuation of time and sentiment.Have unused wood at home? Reach out to Bokto for one-on-one consultation. We’d be happy to help you turn it into something meaningful and practical.
