Just playing while it snows...Again! UGH!
Please click on photos for a close up.
This piece arrived today. It is the table Colin Bird made from the rough piece of yew I posted about not long ago. I wanted to photograph it simply without much embellishing so you could see the wood grain. I feel I have failed to do it justice!!! The top is silky smooth and the color is beautiful.
I told Colin I wanted a table that had a lot of tiny knots in the wood. He sure didn't disappoint me, not in any way. I love his work.
The very happy surprise was how nicely the ladder back chairs go with the color of the table. I bought them last year at the Tom Bishop show to use in a kitchen with no idea where I would ever find a table. What a happy unplanned result. I had no idea if it would work until today.
Thank you so much Colin. It is exactly what I hoped for and more!!!

We sure had a lot of fun shopping for those chairs last spring in Chicago! The table is wonderful and a smart commission for your dollhouse.
ReplyDeleteI adore your table Catherine, I can certainly understand your pleasure with it. The timber markings are so beautiful....it makes a wonderful setting with the chairs....and the little doggy too of course!

I agree with Linda.
ReplyDeleteAmong other things, the details of green highlight the wood grain and enhancing it further.
Wonderful :-)
