Here is a side table I've been experimenting with some new techniques. It's an Elm top with an Acacia wood branch for the base. It wasn't quite stable enough as it was, so I scribed and shaped an additional branch to help its stability yet still retain as much of the natural look as I could.
Finished with Tung oil and beeswax.

Here is my latest project. It's made from two Elm slabs which I joined together by scribing one live edge into the other slab. A time consuming process to be sure, but my client and I both agree that it creates a much more natural feature throughout the piece, rather then a standard straight line joint.
The finish is Tung oil and beeswax.

This is a custom shelf I made using a reclaimed Totara beam with some live edge accents, and creating a rail and brackets using an old Jarrah wharf pile weathered by molluscs and cleaned up and honed by me.
The finish is linseed oil and wax.

My client had an old Kauri cookie slab in storage and asked me if I could do anything with it. This is what I came up with as a unique coffee table using Acacia branches for legs with a linseed oil and wax finish.
