This project involved a large cedar round that was actually multiple trees that grew closely together. Colored epoxy was used to help bind the separations into a single form. A geometric welded steel base completes the look – it’s simple lightweight structure supports the heavy top while keeping the eye drawn upwards towards the deep lustre of the wooden piece.
This heavy slab of cedar was brought to me, and I wanted to attempt to unveil the beauty of what was beneath the rough saw marks. There have been many hours of sanding devoted to this piece, and it goes to show how incredible a piece of cedar can really be. It felt a little too short to be anything more than a small coffee table or side table, but it’s presence immediately draws your eyes when you see it. I had no idea how amazing the grain structure would turn out, but the effort was definitely worth it. Read more
Product Description
This table would fit in a variety of settings due to the warmth of the wood and edgy geometry of the steel legs. Beautiful mesquite live edge top has been sanded to show the enhanced grain and finished with tung oil. A circular knot hole is present through the piece and adds a nice touch of character. Due to it’s shape, it would fit nicely in a wedged corner just as well as a full side table in any setting.
