Ambrosia Maple Table With a Solid Cast Bronze Base

in #woodworking7 years ago

This is a special custom project that we’re so excited to share with you all! We were reminded on this project how profound collaboration can be for the creative process and final product… and really for business in general. One mind can never create what two or more can!

We collaborated with two businesses that helped take this table to a new level. We had the opportunity to work with a talented designer Courtney Bishop Design who had the vision for this table and how it would work in it’s space.

The table top was made from what is called “Urban Lumber” which is lumber salvaged from wood being cut down because of city development. We joined together three 2 ½ inch thick slabs of locally sourced Ambrosia Maple. We bleached the top and put a coat of Waterlox true tone color oil on it (pickled white) then 3 coats of the Waterlox satin urethane. We then burnished the top and really smoothed it out with some trade secrets we’re not quite ready to share.

Our second collaboration for this project was with Michael Oliveri Studio who designed and fabricated the one of a kind solid cast bronze base. Each leg weighs in at about 100lbs and was hand sanded and waxed. We all got chill bumps the first time we saw these beautiful pieces of art.

We are SO excited about the way this turned out and are grateful for the opportunity to work with these talented creatives.

Beautiful design and perfectly realised.

I love how the tabletop is obviously wood but also looks like white marble on the top.

I was thinking the same.

Thanks Scarlet. It's crazy seeing this table from start to finish and never thinking that it looked like marble, but so many folks that have commented on it over on our instagram have mentioned this as well. Was not the intention but definitely a cool outcome and yes looking at it from a fresh set of eyes it definitely looks like marble now. Glad you like it!!!

This is a gorgeous table. I love the final result.

Thanks Choogirl!

The top almost looks like marble. Good contrast with the base. You are right collaborations can bring some otherwise in thought of ideas.

Thanks man! We love collaborating and bringing other awesome local creatives along on the ride with us. So much fun!
