Have you ever watched a big, beautiful tree come down in your neighborhood, due to anything from a storm to safety reasons to improving the view, and wondered what would happen to all that wood?

these tables are absolutely stunning and exactly what my boyfriend and i are looking for in a dining room table. does anyone have suggestions for any similar places in the bay area? i've done a bit of googling, but i haven't found anything quite this close (or with such detailed pricing info, which is key) to what we want.

if necessary, though, a trip to seattle might be in order for such an amazing, timeless piece! pianoeva on Jul 21, 2008

Awesome idea about using windfall to make beautiful furniture...

This site reminds me of my dad's site http://www.edwardssmithfinewoodworking.com. My dad is an artisan who does similar things but on a much smaller scale (he is semi-retired).

He is especially into creating turned wood bowls, and he always has a story to tell for every piece of wood he acquires. In fact, we call him a wood magnet because he seems to find great pieces of unwanted wood wherever he goes. Todd Smith on Jul 21, 2008
