Finn Fire Side Table / Stool - Scandi style Paperbark
$300
Workshop87's exploration of more Australian Native timber continues as we finish making the first pieces we have ever done from Paperbark.
Paperbark is the common name for a number of different trees in the Melaleuca family. Workshop87 has been working with lengths of Freshwater Paperbark (Melaleuca rhaphiophylla), which is far more wide spread than the Stout Paperbark (also known as the Modong) and the Saltwater Paperbark. The untreated wood is covered in an amazingly thick bark that is layered in sheets of crisp powdery fibre, like sheaves of paper. We had to go old school with the wood and use a drawknife to strip the bark, sometimes also using a bark spud to lever the bark off in big sheets. From there we used the draw knife to strip down the cambium layer of wood, before sanding. In this case we cut the end so we could turn the wood into Finn Fire Stools and Side Tables. The final pieces show just how lovely this under utilised native timber can be.
The Finn Fire Side Tables are created by lighting fires inside the cuts in the wood, encouraging the fire to burn out a cavity within the table. The end result is a round solid top and a base made up of 4 legs that have solid wood on the outside and charred wood on the inside. The creamy ivory of the paperbark wood's cambium layer (the outer wood just underneath of the bark) and the delicious brown sugar of the sapwood end grain is a contrast to the black sable of the internal charred wood. The charred wood is unsealed, leaving it matt, while the uncharred outer wood is coated in beeswax and polished to a soft sheen.
The side table is almost 45cm tall with a diameter of just under 30cm. Paperbark is a hardwood, but the wood is not as heavy another native hardwoods, and is still manageable.
This side table / stool can be freighted/transported to your door, almost anywhere in mainland Australia, for just $37.50. Pictures of the side table / stool can be seen in our Facebook page (Workshop87) and online store.
