Heavy slabs. Raw and live edges. Deep grain, splits, knots and old repairs. Old timber, not newly cut. Surfaces worn smooth over time, burnished and darkened through traditional finishing techniques. Some pieces retain the weight and irregularity of the original timber almost untouched. Others have been carved, joined, repaired and adapted over generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFound forms that tell a story of a life well lived.\u003cbr\u003eThe appeal is in the contrast: rough against refined, heavy against sparse, primitive forms set in modern rooms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImperfect. Honest.
