Made entirely by hand in Scotland, the table retains its organic silhouette, allowing the natural curves, knots, and flowing grain of the yew to define the form. The surface has been meticulously refined through approximately 11 hours of progressive hand sanding, resulting in a smooth, tactile finish that highlights the depth and movement of the wood.

Finished with three coats of natural Danish oil, the piece has a soft, warm lustre that enhances the grain without obscuring its natural character. An optional clear polyurethane finish is available for those seeking additional durability while maintaining the table’s understated aesthetic.

Both sculptural and functional, this piece works equally well as a side table, occasional table, or standalone accent object, bridging rustic authenticity with contemporary minimalism.
Each table is one of a kind.
