The two elm planks are positioned either side of a mould and then resin is used as an infill to join the planks together to form the table top. They are known as ‘river tables’ and in this one, white and other blue resins where used to create eddy ‘effects’ seen in rivers.

I never get tired of enjoying my beautiful picture of Mrs. Plant teaching her little boy Robert how to play the 400w Bağlama.

I watched a youtube vid of someone [Stateside] making a huge table top in the same resin technique, it was large, round, very heavy, and quite a process to make, the finished table needed to find a buyer who wanted a large round [and expensive] table, and this was not easy, however there was a happy ending, someone bought it but wanted it mounted as wall art, which looked really good. The maker also didn’t need to build any table legs but instead a wall bracket that was fit for purpose

I saw a table being made like this on YouTube. When they had finished this part, they put another coating of clear resin over the whole table to protect the wood.
Thought it was quite interesting process.

The peeps who made our table prefer to allow the wood the ‘breath’ so recommend not sealing, they did offer a raised glass sheet as a topper but having had a glass table before we dont like the fine scratches which accumulate over time.

Reminds me of the Grand Canyon. Quite a statement piece if possibly of questionable practicality.

As you said. You can’t really eat on that table and receive friends. Or maybe someone put a glass at one extreme and another let the wine flow at the opposite of the table?

An Erik Pløen. 1925-2004. The greatest ceramic artist of Norway. He made this when he lived in Son in the 80/90s. He dived in the fjord and tried to recreate what he saw on the sea floor on his ceramic. This was from his best period, late in life.
