Tree trunk coffee tables

Tree trunk coffee tables celebrating the end grain features and life story of the tree.

Taking slices across the tree trunk we capture the inimitable natural form and distinctive organic grain features of the tree to create bespoke rustic feature piece tree trunk coffee tables, bedside tables and occasional and sofa side tables.

Hand-made brushed steel leg bases follow the form of the wooden top while contrasting with the wood grain tones. Charred edges frame and enhance the natural organic detail of each tree trunk coffee table.

Sizes vary depending on the tree and heights can be specified for bespoke pieces.

Unlike most wooden furniture we celebrate the captivating end grain detail, which is beautiful to look at and extremely tactile, making our tree trunk coffee tables not just pieces of furniture, but pieces of natural art.

The growth rings show the history of the trees life. Charting historical events and personal dates. They also show the hardships of the trees existence, the stresses and strains of weathering over the years, shaping the tree trunk and grain features.

Foreign objects such as iron nails from decades ago can often be found within a tree, tarnishing the surface and dictating the growth of the tree.

I find it fascinating to think of all that the trees have witnessed under their boughs. Some of this history can be witnessed as mentioned above. Others researched,, for instance a tree along a historical route such as our ‘Fosse’ weathered oak tree trunk slice coffee tables collection, or a tree on a farm where a young grandfather would have played (The ‘Brooks’ burr oak tree trunk coffee table). And others can be purely imagined.

The metalwork leg frames are designed and hand-made by Alex using brushed mild steel.
A hard-wearing wax finish varnish is applied to make the tables completely practical in the modern home. Resin is used to fill imperfections, frame and enhance the grain features.
