How the budget is calculated
€1,600 base + tabletop area × €900/m², multiplied by timber and finish factors, plus €120 for a rounded edge. Rounded to €50.
Timber factors: oak 1.00 · walnut 1.35 · ash 0.95. Finish factors: 1.00 / 1.08 / 1.15.

Change the controls below: the drawing uses the same validated dimensions and choices as your brief. Grain is indicative; finish appearance is not colour-calibrated. Structure and seating clearances still require a maker’s review.
Before a real commission
Check the room and access route. Bring photos, seating requirements and a preferred timescale. A maker would confirm construction, timber availability, samples, delivery and a written quotation before work begins.
An honest design study
Concept photograph; controls update the specification, not a photorealistic render.
The processOAK & CHISEL / THE CRAFT NOTEBOOK
What a real maker would need to confirm.
A responsibility checklist, not a connected enquiry form.
The maker
Identity, business contact, contract and aftercare responsibilities.
The design
Feasible joinery, loading, stability, timber movement and safe dimensions.
The materials
Actual timber, sourcing evidence, finish samples and maintenance instructions.
The agreement
Authoritative total, tax, lead time, delivery, installation and applicable terms.
