These charming Elm sofa tables were built from a tree that was standing dead on a friend’s farm in southwest Johnson County, Kansas. The tree was taken down in May of 2016 and milled at Tom the Sawyer’s mill on June 3rd, 2016. Right off the mill you could see the beautiful figure that this wood possessed. All that was left was for the wood to be stacked and dried (these came from the pile on the left).
Mother nature did most of the work on these live-edge pieces so besides some cutting, sanding and finishing, all that was left was to accent some of the imperfections, transforming them into the things that give each piece it’s unique character.
The legs were constructed from rectangular tube, then cut, welded, ground and painted.
Lastly we installed levelers and attached the top, producing 2 sibling tables, each with their own unique character. Each table was finished with our house finish and then buffed with a coat of microcrystalline museum-grade wax.
