Re-Claimed Oak Square Coffee Table
This coffee table is made from rough salvaged wood reclaimed from fabrication facility that used the wood for blocking of raw material during shipping. The wood has been cleaned up so it is easy to use and clean, but still has a lot of character to it. There are a couple knots and cracks that go through the entire top. The wood has been stained to bring out the texture and saw marks. The metal on the base retains its mill finish and where it has been welded the metal has been ground smooth. The wood has been sealed with Danish oil and wax, and the metal has been sealed with a clear coat. The dimensions of the table are 36" long, 36" wide, and 18" tall. The oak top is 1 1/4" thick and the base is made from 2" wide flat bar.

Objective:
The goal is to create unique furniture that is rooted in functionality, visually intriguing while displaying honesty of material and a bit of whimsy. To craft pieces that are viewed and used on multiple levels; work that melds with its surroundings while possessing the impact to stand apart. First appearances are of clean, simple objects. A closer look develops into layers of discovery about connections, tectonics, and the character of materials. Each element is continually edited throughout the process to insure every part contributes to the strength of the whole aesthetically, structurally, and conceptually.
Method:
Germinal to each design is an idea of the unique characteristics of materials, used to inspire the formation of the piece. If it is wood, steel, glass, textile or anything, the aim is to take advantage of the strengths and inherent beauty of each material. The act of construction is an ever-changing progression adapting to the challenges and opportunities inherent in manipulating raw materials into a final result.
Philosophy:
It is important to use materials in a sustainable manner. Selection of “green” products is equally important as how they are being used. Each piece of furniture is build with the idea it must stand the test of time to respect the materials from which it was formed.
