Farm-House Style Dining Table
1/3
This farm-house style dining table is constructed from Macrocarpa grown on the client’s family farm. At 2.4m long it comfortably seats 8 people.
2/3
To replicate the wear and patina found on an old farm-house table a distressed finish was used with hard-wax oil applied as a protective coating.
3/3
A cross-brace design was used on the stretcher under the table.
Nautical Dining Table and Bench seat
1/4
This dining table is rich in nautical history. The totara used to construct the table comes from old wharf piles. The tiles that are inset into the top were salvaged from a shipwreck and the kauri used on the bench seat top comes from Bean Rock lighthouse in the Waitemata harbour.
2/4
In reference to the tables nautical history oversized dovetail joints have been used where the legs meet the table apron. Dovetail joints are common on traditionally built wooden boats.
3/4
The table and bench seat have been finished in a Danish oil.
4/4
In-situ in the client’s home.
Extendable American Oak Dining Table
1/4
This extendable dining table is constructed from American white oak. In its closed position it is 2200mm long and can extend to 2750mm long allowing it to seat 10 people.
2/4
The above photo shows the table in its extended position. This table is unusual as instead of only the top extending (like most extendable tables) the legs pull out to increase the length of the table with an additional tabletop section added to the end.
3/4
The grain has been matched where the tabletop extends with the timber finished in a hard-wax oil.
4/4
When not in use the section used to extend the table sits underneath it.
Live Edge Kanuka Dining Table
1/1
This tabletop is constructed from live edge Kanuka and sits on a steel base. I milled and air dried the timber for this table as Kanuka is not grown commercially.
