Waney Furniture Inspiration...

[Calpol]

I've to make my big sis a dining table for her wedding present, I suggested it then she quickly ruined it by asking for a rustic style

Anyway, can anyone recommend me some good sites to inspire?

I only know of a few which were a good start but I could do with some more...

Thanks all

Also is it waney or wany? I've never known :?

Something a little different....

This was made by a friend of mine and was nicknamed the flying horse for some reason. Its very good and interesting, but I have to be honest I would not want it.

Google George Nakashima and you are bound to find something.

Tim Stead's work all seems to be waney edged.

George Nakashima's work would be good inspiration for this. I have his book Soul of A Tree, but I imagine google would fetch up some pics.

Matty the execution of the butterflies can be appreciated , but what else would anyone admire in that old tat ? Still beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I could do something with that top but the underframe is completely uninspiring - Rob

Agreed, but with a more traditional three legged column at either end and the edges tapering to 3/4" in thickness it would look breathtaking.

As much as I love wood, I can't get on with waney\natural edge. I just seems lazy to me

I love the top, but would prefer different legs. Still, kudos to the builder. Everyone's taste is different, after all.

Como got in with the reference to Tim Stead before I did - but he's influenced a whole lot of others too. I've got a few of his chairs, and having visited his steading more than once have sat on/at/etc a lot more (his kitchen/living room is amazing!) ... it's fantastically tactile furniture to enjoy with your hands as much as with your eyes, so in a way photos don't do them justice. I think he used waney edges along with created edges to make the best of the design and the wood itself, as a practical functional object and a thing of beauty. I'm not sure everyone using waney edges does that - some might be lazy as Tom suggests - but not all by any means ...
