In progress photo (July, of 08), below, of Tia's large root table.
This intricate piece is shown on it's side as we work on the detailing of the root structure. When complete; the roots will face UP and be covered with a 3/4 inch thick oval glass top; 8 feet long and 48 inches wide. This extraordinary root ball table will seat 10 very comfortably.
I have had the opportunity to create a great number of unique tables in my years. THIS one is at the top of the list in uniqueness, is quite mezmerizing, even at this stage of it's development, folks come by the shoppe off of the street and just stare, transfixed by the beauty of natures art.
Scroll down to view and learn more.
What we are doing at this point (photo below) in development is detailing. That is to say; cleaning out all of the cracks and crevices. Cleaning and sanitizing. A variety of tools and systems are used for this process including: high pressure air blasting of fine sand, corn meal, and even fine baking flour. Additionally, we air blast alcohol into the fine crevices.. for sanitation purposes.
The final step in detailing is hand sanding. All of the surfaces, even into the the crevices, will be fine sanded prior to beginning the application of clear, satin sheen finishes.
The table, pictured here, still on it's side depicts the flatness of the cut (right side of photo) that will receive the glass top when it is completed.
Specially designed sawing and router table jigs allow for the accuracy of the cut.
Tia's table will receive an elyptical oval glass top. It measures 8 feet long and is 48 inches wide. Additionally, the stump, pictured above, will set upon a horizontal lower base (for stability) that is 3 inches thick (tall) measures about 40 inches long and 24 inches wide. It is carved in a matching elyptical shape and is from a solid oak tree. An angular slice of an oak log, throughly kiln dried and, with natural edgings.
Update July 27th, 08
Tia's root table - the latest in progress photo's of this large root table are below. They are taken during an early stage of finishing. The finish will receive numerous coats yet. We thought the root structure and the unique graining worth a look. Scroll down this page for more photo's at earlier stages.
