The wonderful, tactile edges of this desk, combined with the hand-split and shaved legs make for a stunning sculptural yet practical piece of furniture. As a desk it is sure to provide inspiration for your work, or perhaps would provide an elegant focal point as a console table for the entrance to your home.
Hand-cut dovetail drawer details, gentle curves, and domed legs which are set right on the corner of the piece add to the unique qualities of this ash and cherry desk. The ash top is an exquisite piece taken from a huge tree that was felled many years ago near my workshop. It has streaks of olive colours, ripples and quilted markings which you can lose yourself in, making this a visually exceptional desk. We pride ourselves on timber selection, and it is natural in exceptional timbers like this that flaws will be present. These have been skilfully patched according to the “visible mending” philosophy. We are not hiding the flaws, rather rendering the wood functional. Edges follow the original shape of the tree and have been hand-worked rather than machine-made. Made in our Devon workshop from locally and sustainably sourced ash and coppiced cherry, with continuous ash apron and drawer front. Sanded to a warm, silky smooth tactile surface and finished with a blend of natural oils to a durable, satin finish.
The cherry legs have been split and shaved from a small-diameter tree trunk.

A real statement piece. The 7 stems are cleaved out from carefully selected logs, and shaped by hand in our Devon workshop using traditional tools and techniques. This delicate process allows the wood to follow its own grain, and speak from its heart. The shades are made from natural wood veneers, which are bonded onto cloth to give them the necessary strength. They give off a delightfully warm, natural glow.
