Walnut Planaid

The newest editions to my ready-to-buy furniture collection the planaid (planet) coffee tables. 

The planets are a series of round, live edge tables created from single slabs of timber. Each table top has been carefully considered to showcase the inherent beauty of the tree it came from. Showcasing the unique colour, character and flaws that naturally occur. 

A long split in the slab has been stabilised using a pair of handcuff butterfly inlays, created from the pale sapwood from that borders the rich brown heart of the tree. This adds a subtle continuity, carrying some of the stunning pale wood into the centre of the piece.

This rare beauty is made from a slab from an Irish Walnut tree. It grew in Enniskillen but succumbed to a storm a few years ago. I've been lucky enough to get my hand on a few pieces of this majestic timber. 

The bespoke frame is handmade by a local blacksmith making the table a true work of craftsmen
