LIVE EDGE BROWN ASH TABLE

 

 

   

Several years ago we purchased a dead standing brown ash butt log. The top of this table is made from two slices of the butt log that we book-matched together leaving the live edge on the sides. The bowties are made of "imbuia" wood, also known as Brazillian walnut, which grows mostly in the moist Araucaria forests of Parana and Santa Catharina in southern Brazil, mostly at altitudes of 2,500 to 4,000 ft. The cross stretcher is a horn beam, also known as iron wood. It was a support timber salvaged from a circa 1725 house in Attleboro, Massachusetts. The legs came from an old machine lathe from the turn of the century. 

 

80" long x 37 1/2" wide x 31" high

Measurements were taken from the widest and longest point of the table top.
