Custom made square edged tree trunk bedside table - soldered
$420
SOLD: THIS PIECE HAS SOLD, BUT PLEASE CONTACT US AND WE WILL HAPPILY MAKE A PLAN WITH YOU ABOUT HOW TO MAKE A PIECE THAT MEETS YOUR EXACT SPECIFICATIONS.
Some of Wormshop87's clients are amazing. Not only do they have the vision to imagine what a piece of wood can be, they also work with us to solve interesting problems.
One of our clients wanted a unique bedside table, so we suggested a square milled block of River Gum, with its amazing grain, clear growth rings and rich colouring.
The gum has been seasoned out in the elements, absorbing the very essence of the countryside. Having moved less than 5 km from where it grew on the side of the Avon river to where it was seasoned and milled, this piece of wood is the epitome of buying local.
Once we milled it square, we shaved the wood back, sanded it and mounted it on brushed steel castors. That was when the problem solving began. The wood had a hole at the very centre where, as is common in River Gum, the very centre was full of gum that had flaked away. The client didn't want to lose anything into the centre of the wood, so what could we do to help?
Simple. We used a butane torch to melt a stick of plumber's solder into the hole, and then sanded it back until it was level with the silky smooth wood. The final sanding made the solder mirror smooth and shiny. The final coat with beeswax protects it, and the wood, forever.
This side table has already gone to a happy client, but we have a matching set of taller ones from the same tree, that we can finish to your exact specifications. The question is, would you use the solder also?
Our pieces can be seen at our Facebook page for Workshop87, if you were interested in other things that might inspire you.
