Timeless elegance and fascinating craftsmanship
For this unique dining table, I crafted a rustic 200 × 100 cm piece of “ Kauri ” root. The tabletop is made from a 41,000-year-old piece of “ Kauri ” wood and showcases the material’s natural form in a serene, expansive dining table design, lending the dining area elegance and exclusivity. Particularly striking are the organic tree edges and the vibrant surface of the root, which I deliberately preserved and crafted by hand.
The solid “ Kauri ” tabletop of this dining table makes a strong statement with its wide, gently curving edges and striking burl grain, yet its overall form remains clean and understated. I’ve finished the natural edges so that they reveal the burl’s original movement while feeling pleasant and smooth to the touch. The natural form of this rare “ Kauri ” wood remains visible without compromising its suitability for everyday use.
At the customer’s request, I partially reduced the size of a natural opening in the tabletop by inserting a piece of solid wood from the same root and filling the area with epoxy resin. This preserves the structure of the “ Kauri ” root while giving the surface a smoother, more cohesive appearance. The epoxy resin finish provides additional protection and gives this extraordinary table a satin-matte, high-quality finish.
I assign each table its own unique serial number and a certificate of age—as is the case with this table, “ ,” unique serial number 176. This ensures that the origin of the Kauri wood remains traceable, the individual piece is clearly documented, and it gains its own history. This uniqueness and the fascinating beauty of the solid wood tables made from the valuable Kauri solid wood make Kauri tables exclusive, one-of-a-kind pieces.
As the “ Kauri ” dining table, this piece of furniture combines the powerful presence of an old tree root with the clean lines of an exclusive solid wood table. The large tabletop, the organic tree edges, and the carved opening give the table its own unique character. For me, the combination of naturally grown solid wood, precise craftsmanship, and the table’s understated form is what makes this one-of-a-kind piece so special.
