Two coffee tables that are  going to a gallery owner in San Diego .Coastal live oak and ribbon wood burls .

Rob,

My hat is off to you for your use of recyled wood as well as your craftsmanship. I didn't mean anything derogatory about the use of live edges and burles as you used them for every piece is beautiful. I was more or less basing my remarks from the reception that I have received here in my area. I have made a few pieces in much the same manner only to find out that I simply wasted my time for I didn't sell that first one.

I really like the free form and the use of the stump... really nice my friend...

Hi Ralph , no offense taken . I also thank you for your compliments -

Some pretty cool tables and great woods too. Good job Rob.

Rob you and John were correct about the places these are winding up. I could see those around some of the high end outdoor patios and outdoor kitchens I see people around here doing.

 

I could also see them in the foyer of many of the homes around here that are not on the log or cabin style. I even see some of that type furniture in conference rooms, so you would be surprised at the places it is being used.

 

I think it gives that "one of a kind" type look or "Make a Statement" type look.

 

Those are great and I love the grain in the wood. Very nice indeed!!!

Hi Gene,

I wish people around my area would get Kooky so maybe I could sell some of the live wood I have in the storage unit. I have had some left after making a few pieces and they have just laid there drawing dust.
