Description
- Wide, deep board with great patterns and colour ranges caused by spalting*
- Interesting bark pockets or inclusions
- Natural river feature, full depth of the board, could be opened wider if desired
- A good size board for a coffee table or your first epoxy resin project.
*Spalting is the term given to unique colouration and patterns on the wood surface caused by fungi in dead or stressed trees. The black lines are caused by competing fungi species trying to grab their share of the wood! The fungi are killed by the kilning process.

Tree Location
This board is from a tree that fell in St Johns in 2015. It is the 4th board of four cut from the same trunk.
Careful measurements are taken to minimise the amount of wood 'lost' when cutting a live edge board to make square sides and corners to square. If you want to do this then we will email you a picture showing the amount of wood that would be removed and the revised dimensions of the board.
The board won't be cut until we receive confirmation from you that you are happy to proceed.
Square ends only e.g. to place a shelf in an alcove - £25.00
One square side eg. to place a desk or table against a wall - £25.00
Cross cutting to length - £10
Rip Cutting down the length e.g. to make a river table - £25.00
