Wood slice coffee tables

Wood slice coffee tables are smaller geometric wooden tables celebrating the end and long grain features of the wood used.

Wood slice tables are either slices taken across the tree trunk to showcase the wonderful end grain, similar to our tree trunk coffee tables, or along the tree trunk as organic planks. Both options are cut to create geometric coffee tables, side tables, bedside tables, occasional tables or sofa side tables. As with all our pieces we aim to capture the inimitable natural organic grain features of the tree to create bespoke feature pieces of furniture.

Hand-made brushed steel leg frames follow the form of the wooden top while contrasting with the wood tones. Charred edges frame and enhance the natural organic detail.

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 these 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 collection, or a tree on a farm where a young grandfather would have played (The ‘Brooks’ burr oak table). And others can be purely imagined.

The metalwork leg frames are designed and hand-made by Alex using brushed 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.
