We use oversized traditional joinery detailing with a large wedged through dowel to secure all the tables sections together. Tying it all together are the small and intricate details that we love, including hand profiled concave and convex wedges to match the legs they fit in against.

Pinstriping and profiling of the curved pedestal is all done by hand, using traditional hand carving tools

Inlaid geometric pieces are used to replace surface defects in a contemporary reimagination of a pedestal table, and an homage to George Nakashima.

One large bookmatched elm table top. We profiled the join line so as to follow the natural flow of the tree. Scottish elm is an incredible timber with so much variation in grain direction, colour and burl it makes for an incredible table surface. On close inspection it looks like a swirling mass of miniature galaxies. Completely spellbinding.

Fun table fact. whilst cleaning up this surface we found an embedded rock that the tree had engulfed on its upwards journey to the skies. Try to find it!

The form is a juxtaposition between the organic and geometric – the natural shapes of the timber, congruent with an angular journey of lines and shapes across the surface and base.
