Single Slab Olive Ash Table. A gorgeous, richly grained English ash slab, with pockets of green resin capturing parts of the tree's naturally growing history.
DIMENSIONS
2450 mm long, 830 mm average width, and 730 mm high.
The legs are hand-turned from locally sourced English oak.
FINISH.
The top has had 2 coats of Osmo hard wax oil, which is a very hard-wearing and spill-proof finishing oil that requires very little maintenance whilegiving it a smooth and tactile finish.
PROVENANCE,
This old ash once grew on a field boundary next to a road in North Norfolk. Due to its age, signs of ash dieback were present, and due to a generally unsafe condition, it sadly had to come down. It suffered from ash canker throughout its life, which causes scars and holes. It was also host to some insect larvae living in it (who have now left) while it was slowly in decline. We captured the larvae tunnels and canker holes by casting them in a light green resin to preserve a part of the tree's history.
Ash is wonderful timber with great color and patterns throughout, with the brown center being known as the "olive" part of the tree. With the rise in ash dieback, there's undeniably and sadly going to be fewer of these majestic trees in the future.
