In the heart of rural Shropshire, amidst the rolling hills and ancient woodlands, our craftsmen embark on a journey to create exquisite high-end oak tree root coffee tables. Each table is a testament to our commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and the preservation of natural beauty. Let's delve into the meticulous process behind the creation of these stunning pieces of functional art.

  1. Cleaning with Precision: Our process begins by carefully cleaning the oak tree roots using a high-pressure 4000psi pressure washer. This ensures that all soil, debris, and any traces of rot are thoroughly removed, revealing the raw beauty of the wood beneath.

  2. Precision Cutting and Milling: Once cleaned, the oak tree roots are expertly cut to size, taking into consideration the strategic placement of support points for the glass tabletop. Using a chainsaw mill, the roots are sliced top and bottom, and then leveled with precision using a router mill, ensuring a flat and stable surface.

  3. Finishing Touches with Care: With the flat edges planed and sanded smooth, the oak tree root begins to take shape as a refined piece of furniture. Sturdy castors are then added to the base, providing ease of movement while maintaining stability. To support the glass tabletop and prevent any wobbling, 25mm adjustable offset screws are strategically inserted into the top.

  4. Testing and Quality Assurance: Before applying the final finish, each coffee table undergoes rigorous stability testing. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure that it meets our exacting standards of quality and craftsmanship.

  5. Preserving Beauty and Durability: Finally, a coat of wood stain is meticulously applied to the oak tree root, enhancing its natural hues and adding a satin sheen. This not only enriches the wood's beauty but also provides protection against UV light and potential discoloration, ensuring the longevity of the coffee table for years to come.

At the intersection of sustainability and luxury, our oak tree root coffee tables stand as a testament to the beauty of nature and the artistry of skilled craftsmanship. Each table tells a story of tradition, innovation, and a deep reverence for the environment. Experience the timeless elegance of our sustainable creations and bring a piece of rural Shropshire into your home.
