Black Gold, One of a Kind
The Elm table top had originally been used in another piece as drawer fronts for a Record Player Cabinet, when the client changed their mind on the aesthetic - to do justice to the beauty of this slab I stitched it back together with blackened steel rod & paired with some solid Oak trapeziod legs, which were burnt using an ancient Japanese process to protect wood called Yakisugi - which is then oiled for protection
I named the table Aur Du (pronounced I-thee) which is Welsh for Black Gold, highlighting the key colour palette
