Characteristics
The natural structure of each solid wood panel is unique. This creates dining tables with a highly expressive, lively grain. The individual pattern, the distinctive and natural grain as well as the uniqueness of every surface are given particular consideration in the selection of solid wood with characteristic features. Branches and knots as well as hairline cracks in the wood surface add to the authenticity of the particular solid wood table.
Natural holes in the tabletop are filled with a dark special mixture and then given a clean finish and surface treatment. Here it is possible, i.e. not completely preventable, that small particles of the filler will break away during the working of the wood.
Elm wood in particular exhibits considerable natural colour variations. We minimise this accordingly by steaming the elm wood before it undergoes processing. Otherwise, the colour variations would be much greater. Your new, custom-made table can therefore still vary from what you saw originally (display table, wood sample).
The solid wood collapsing leaves (table extensions) do not necessarily exhibit characteristic features (knots, branches etc.) due to their “small” size.
It takes 80 to 140 year for a tree to grow before it can be used. During this time, each wood develops it's very own, unique image. Branches and intergrowths therefore naturally differ in shape, size and number and make every table unique.
