One of the pieces that was produced recently in the workshops, but delivered this week and Graeme (the craftsman who built it) took some really nice photos of it on his iPhone which show off the details. Always better to see a piece in the home it’s going to rather than our showroom, as the lighting isn’t that great in the showroom for photos.
Built to the customer’s specific design (Colin from Dalry). It’s a large 10 seater dining table made from pippy elm. The wood is full of character, and there’s a lovely mix of different tones – creamy but warm looking with swirling grains. A beauty.
The construction is what’s known as ‘V-Board’. You can see that the elm boards on the table surface have been slightly routered and sealed prior to being jointed together. This creates some definition between the planks rather than having a completely flat tabletop.
I have to admit, when I first saw the photos I had to ask ‘Is that a coffee table?’. What a wally, imagine trying to have a conversation or watch the telly with a big table like in the middle of the room. No, I think our Graeme took some of the photos as the guys were manhandling the beast through the living room on the way to the dining room. You can see some of the features in the different light. So the photo of the table below left is it sitting in situ whilst the photo below right is it in the living room.
