Bespoke Australian Tree Trunk Bench - Scandi style
$260
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.
Created by Workshop87, this bench has been hand hewn, smoothed and polished to produce a great one-of-a-kind piece of furniture that has a wonderful Scandinavian style.
The tree trunk segment itself is a segment of pine that was felled 2 years ago in the Swan Valley, and seasoned in the open to allow the sap to run off.
Taking a lead from the Vikings and how they would hand hew tree trunks to create their furniture, we have taken the tree trunk segment and hewn it with a vintage hand adze that was made in the 1950s from a long tempered steel plane blade. Over hours of shaving with the adze two sides were squared off against each other to create the leading edge of the bench, with the other sides left rounded and natural. The sides were then spokeshaved to make them smooth, before being sanded to a silky smooth texture and then coated with 100% natural beeswax.
At almost 60cm long and 45cm tall the tree trunk bench stands on 5 vintage railway spike feet that have felt pads on the bottom to ensure they can't ever sratch or mark your floors.
The wood has a wonderful grain to it, and the growth rings of either end and the branch at the back are clearly visible and create a modern rustic feel that is very eco-chic. The grain of the front and top that have been squared off shows the whorls and sworls of the timber as the adzing moved through the cambium layer of the wood into the sapwood and heartwood. The colours are light and bright, with the natural creams and light tans stopping the piece from being too heavy or imposing.
The bench is the perfect height for sitting on, but could be equally used as a coffee table or side table. You are very welcome to come and see it for yourself and try it for size.
The bench, including pictures of it being made, can be seen on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Workshop87-1024209814310576/
