Totara & Kauri Dining Table & Bench Seat
By Quartersawn
This totara and kauri dining table is rich in history. The totara comes from reclaimed wharf piles from Tauranga Harbour and the kauri was a beam section from the Bean Rock lighthouse in Auckland Harbour. The tiles inlaid into the table top were recovered from a shipwreck.
In reference to the nautical history of the materials an oversized dovetail, as commonly used in wooden boat construction, was used to connect the table legs to the table apron. The bench seat top is inspired by yacht decks with thin strips of totara between the kauri planks. The table and bench are finished in danish oil.
