Nachdem ein 47.000 Jahre alter, 330 x 200 x 180 cm großer und an einem Stück gewachsener Wurzelblock aus Neuseeland in Goch an meiner Werkstatt 2016 eingetroffen war, schnitten wir daraus einzelne Tischplatten. Hieraus fertige ich kunstvolle Naturholz Designertische mit eingenständiger Ausstrahlung.
First the large root block was divided into 3 parts, then we began to cut out each table top individually. After each slab, the saw had to be sharpened or replaced, so it sometimes took us up to an hour to cut one slab. We had to refuel 2 - 3 times for each slab. We cut from morning to night for 4 days.
Patrick Herrmann from Stuttgart provided me with valuable help with his mobile sawmill. He took on the task very patiently and didn't despair when the saw had to be sharpened again and again or the chain had to be replaced.
The root table top no. 8, measuring 330 x 120 x 12 cm, grew in one piece after I finished it in summer 2020. Now the beautiful grain of the Kauri root wood with ingrown bark and original gold-colored amber from the ancient Kauri tree can be seen in the table top.
It was very strenuous but also a great event, during which we worked up a lot of sweat. We cut a total of 41 table tops from the 3.30 x 2.00 x 1.80 m kauri root block. Here it lay neatly stacked for 2 years and was able to pre-dry in the air. In 2018, I started with the processing.
2 table tops are in my drying chamber and are artificially and gently dried down to 7 - 8 % wood moisture before processing. This is an important step to ensure that the finished Kauri wooden table does not crack or warp later on at the customer's premises.
Only then do I begin to process the table tops into unique and unusual dining tables, conference tables or designer tables according to the customer's wishes.
Jeder Kunde bekommt von mir ein Zertifikat über das Alter des Wurzelholz seines neuen Holztisches nach der Lieferung ausgehändigt und jeder Tisch wird zudem mit eigener Unikat-Nr. ausgestattet. So biete ich außergewöhnliche Tische in sehr hoher Qualität, die mit anderen Hölzern kaum realisierbar sind.
