A sturdy rustic solid wood waterfall side table handcrafted from upcycled hops poles. Featuring a jointed top that flows down each side in a continuous flat surface, which is contrasted by the multi curved underside to create an element of interest to the elegant simplistic lines.
The detail photos (the ones with the plain white background) are of the actual table you are buying, I have tried to take photos from all angles so you can make an informed decision, please study the photos carefully, and read the full description. If you would still like further photos or other information please contact us before you purchase. The last few photos show some of the processes required to turn rough weathered hops poles into the finished article.
The hops poles are cut in half lengthwise and cut to approximate size then hand planed flat. Each piece is then trimmed to width and the inner joint edges are planed flat and square to create a close fitting joint before gluing. The panel is then cut into three pieces creating a mitre joint which is trimmed and reinforced before the table is glued together. Finally the joint corner is rounded over and chamfers are added to all the edges before finishing with linseed oil.
The table is 40cm high, with a 37cm x 30cm top. (All dimension are approximate).
Weight 6.5Kg to 7Kg.
And to state the obvious...The items shown on the table are not included.

Important Notes
As the wood we use has been very well weathered (they were stuck in a field at one time after all) you can get a wide variety of colours. From the natural wood tones, to greys from the ‘silvered’ weathered wood, to black from the reaction of the wood with steel fasteners and even a hint of green may remain from the tanalising used to help protect the wood from rot.
You will also see splits in the wood from weathering, and often evidence of various fasteners that were used to hold the wires and mesh to support the hops.
These all add to the interest of the piece, and we try to include these features and colour variations where possible.
If you just want a bland piece of ‘perfect’ wood furniture then these are not for you. If on the other hand you want something that tells a story, a talking point even, then these are definitely worth your consideration.
It's worth remembering that wood will continue to move even after its been turned into a piece of furniture. Warm dry rooms may cause the wood to shrink slightly and cause cracks to enlarge or appear. Conversely cold damp environments can cause the wood to swell.
Direct sunlight might also cause the timber to change colour.
