Wind Blows Table

Wind Blow

Strong wind is a poorly trained arborist tree trimmer who leaves the job clean-up to you. A 2012 Deracho wind blow harvested large branches from a Sycamore tree.  During clean-up operations branch intersections were directed to air drying and future ‘parts’ to make this table’s support structure. The natural bark skin provides the support structure’s final finished surface.

Pegged construction – No mechanical fasteners.

Chestnut salvaged from roof rafters

A carpenter friend in Upstate New York provided chestnut roof rafters salvaged from a old garage tear down job. Four independent boards making the 50″ x 15″  top join together using a barn door construction method. The free-floating boards minimize any lumber movement forces from being transmitted to the support structure. Fiberglass resin fills large cracks, holes and knot voids. Wormholes and smaller nail voids are left “au natural” before Tung oil seals the boards.

Ironically the old garage was being replaced because of wind blow damage.

Console table

The 28″ tall table works as a console table or as shown here – High coffee table. Rigidity of the branch support structure makes the table ideal for displaying objects but it should not be used as a work surface.

H 28 inches
W (top) 15 inches
L (top) 50 inches

Branch intersections join together to form supporting legs

Display area top will sit close to a wall or can be free-standing
