First piece for sale , waiting on the legs for the other 2 slightly smaller tables this is the flagship of the trio!

Massive slab of elm, taken many hours to get this to where I wanted it. I actually had to take the legs back off twice just to make it what I wanted.

This piece is 34 inches by 26 inches. 18 inches off the floor and 2 and a half inches thick.

It features an incredible ‘crotch’ this is where the branches would meet and create this incredible jointed pattern in the centre , nothing more amazing than highlighting natures complex patterns and beauty.

I’d like to call this the forecastle, as it looks like the bow of a ship!

I’m asking £450 for this piece , I’m trying to be more than competitive, offers will be considered. Elm is extraordinary wood and not cheap.

Thanks

Started this wonderful piece today, just over 10 feet I’m hoping it’ll make someone a beautiful dining table that they can pass down for generations. Stuff like this never gets old!

Spent the morning sanding to reveal the heartwood of this piece. I’d like to call it, a shadow of its former self. Notice the tree shape inside the slab?

Hopefully to be close to complete at the end of January!

The legs will soon come for the other 2 and we can start advertisement. After multiple layers of wax , oil and buffing.
