Bespoke Tree Trunk Stool / Side Table - Poplar
$190
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.
This Poplar stool / side table is another piece from Workshop87. This is the third piece we have made from the small amount of poplar we have on hand. The wood was collected more than 5 years ago when a stand of Poplar were cut down to expand the driveway of a Hills' farm that had a whole driveway lined with them. Most of them were chipped on site, but a few made it into our hands. We have seasoned them outside for years, until the wood is ready to be worked.
Poplar is a European Hardwood that has been used for centuries for furniture making, decorative woodwork and boat building. There is evidence that Poplar was even used in the construction of Viking longboats. Amazing!
Poplar, when well seasoned, loses its distinctive raised bark and reveals the gleaming white wood underneath. The wood is highly patterned with swirls and whirls of grain along the length of the wood, with the ends clearly showing the growth rings, but almost no differentiation between the Cambium, Sapwood and Heartwood layers.
This stool / side table was made by cutting up a long Poplar log using a Japanese rip saw to create the correct length. The stool stands 43cm tall (including the small rubber feet we have put on the base to protect your carpet and floors). For the first time we used a draw knife to remove all of the bark that had not yet fallen off, before smoothing with a spokeshave and then hand sanding. The silky smooth wood was then finished with a coating of pure, natural beeswax.
The wood is the lightest that we have ever worked with, looking almost white before the wax is applied. The sides have amazing whirls and circles of grain where there were lumps and bumps under the bark, with ridges and troughs giving the trunks real visual interest. The end grain is smooth and softly sheened from the beeswax, and has a real Scandinavian look that is a great compliment to mid-century design furniture or interior decorating.
The stool, including pictures of it being made, can be seen on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Workshop87-1024209814310576/
