Custom live edge dining table. 4600 X 1200mm. Handcrafted in Australian Sugar gum. A challenging piece to build and challenging to install. Total weight 400kg. Install was via crane and then an 8 man lift into place. Initially the slab was quite twisted, but the opportunity to present the timber as a single piece rather than splitting it down the middle was too good. That meant flattening it by hand using a Makita planer. This way we could also retain as much thickness as possible. It is easily the most beautiful single slab I've ever worked with and hopefully will be a table that is used and loved for a very long time.#supportlocal #craftsmanship #madeinmargaretriver #furnituremaker #handcraftedfurniture#customdesign #customfurniture #perthfurniture #australiandesign #perthinteriordesign #margaretriver #dunsborough #yallingup #joinery #woodwork #slabtable #localtimber #sugargum #liveedge
