Bespoke Ebonised Marri Stool / Side table
$199
Workshop87 specialises in making one - off pieces that combine old school woodwork with Western Australian native woods.
This piece is made from a large section of Marri trunk from a tree that grew in the Darling scarp. Rather than see it mulched, we saved it and turned it into side tables and stools. This side table is approx 400mm tall with a similar diameter across. The stump has been stripped and smoothed until it is silken to your touch. The wood has no sharp edges and splinters, and is a joy to sit on or use as a table.
The stool / side table is made of Marri, with its large gum veins and strong grain structure, but a vinegar and iron wash was deliberately applied that caused a chemical reaction that made the wood turn black. The process of turning the wood black is known as Ebonization. It isn't a stain or paint, it is the tannin in the wood reacting with the vinegar and changing colour to black. The process is named after the black wood, Ebony, and was extremely popular popular in the Georgian period.
The black wood still has the variations, grain flow and features of Marri, but the wood has a black toning that is sophisticated, striking and unusual. Completely hand made in our workshop, this piece can't be bought anywhere else and will be a definite head turner and conversation piece in your home.
The.piece has been finished in beeswax, and had a soft glow that is perfect in any light and extremely low maintenance.
