That Table Guy
Handmade tables built by That Table Guy — using barn wood older than your grandpa’s truck.
Why Our Tables?
Real Barn Wood.
Not Fake Rustic.
Built by Hand.
Made in Wisconsin.
Not a Factory.
( Featured Tables )
Every table we make starts with real reclaimed barn wood — the kind that’s seen more Wisconsin winters than we have. These boards, planks, and beams were pulled (by hand and by a lot of grunting) from old barns that have earned every ding, dent, and notch they’ve got. Those deep red tones? That’s sun, snow, and about 80 years of cows leaning on it. We don’t cover up that history — we show it off. Every table carries a piece of Wisconsin’s past into a new home, built by hand, built with pride, and built to handle just about anything. Each one’s got its own personality — some a little rough around the edges, just like the guy who built them. And when you bring one home, you’re not just getting a table — you’re getting a story that still smells faintly like sawdust and hard work.
The Sawmill Bench Set
-
The Sawmill Bench Set is the dynamic duo you never knew you needed. Built from barn boards that survived storms, hay dust, and a few decades of good honest labor, these benches carry a rugged charm wrapped in modern simplicity. Pair them with a table, tuck them into an entryway, slide them into a mudroom — they instantly bring character and practicality to a space. They’re easy to move, harder to forget, and forever willing to host spontaneous porch chats, muddy boots, or that mountain of mail you keep pretending you’ll sort. These benches don’t just sit there — they invite.

The Cow Leaner
-
The Cow Leaner is named for that universal farm moment when a cow just… leans on whatever (or whoever) happens to be nearby. This table has that same energy — steady, reliable, and unfazed by the chaos of everyday life. Its simple silhouette makes it a chameleon in any room, while its reclaimed barn wood roots give it unmistakable personality. Every plank carries soft echoes of field breezes, tobacco sunbeams, and maybe even a cow sneeze or two (sanitized now, of course). It’s the kind of table ready to hold your dinner, your laundry piles, your kids’ crayons, or your deepest existential spirals — with room to spare. Built for leaning, loafing, lunching, living.

The Cornfield King
-
The Cornfield King is the table equivalent of watching the sun rise over an ocean of corn — serene, spacious, and undeniably majestic. This long, elegant table is crafted from barn wood planks that spent their previous life just a stone’s toss from the very fields you see in its photo. It brings that open-sky feeling indoors, along with subtle textures carved by decades of wind and weather. The Cornfield King isn’t just for meals — it’s for gathering the whole crew, hosting feasts that would make Grandma proud, and spreading out any project that demands space to breathe. This is not merely a table; it’s a quiet, confident proclamation: We’ve got plenty of room. Pull up a chair.

(Meet the Crew)
It takes a small (and slightly stubborn) village to turn reclaimed barn wood into tables, and lucky for us, our village comes with plenty of diet coke, jokes, and opinions about how straight a board should be. What started as one barn-teardown project turned into a family operation powered by sawdust, sarcasm, and Wisconsin grit.
Every board has its story — and so do we. From the guy who builds the tables to the one who stores the wood, sells the finished pieces, and makes sure the website actually works, this is the crew that keeps That Table Guy running (and laughing) every step of the way.

(Let’s Talk Tables)
We might build tables, but we’re really in the business of good conversations (and sawdust). Whether you’ve got a question about our tables, want to stop by the shop, scheduling a pick up or just feel like chatting about reclaimed barn wood — we’d love to hear from you.
We’re a small family crew here in Lake Mills, Wisconsin — no fancy showroom or call center, just real people doing what we love. With that in mind, give us a couple days to get back to you. And if you swing by, you will probably find Dad (That Table Guy himself) in the workshop, saw in hand, classic rock playing, and a story ready to go before you even say hello.
We don’t ship or deliver — everything’s local pickup only — but we promise the drive’s worth it. You’ll see the tables in person, feel the old barn wood, and maybe even hear about the time Uncle Jimmy swore he could lift a whole beam by himself.
