Oak coffee table by Furgus Parsons
Bespoke Quarter sawn Oak coffee table by Furgus Parsons.
This table features "through mortice and tenon" joints with dark wood locking wedges.
"Quarter sawn" refers to the way the timber is sawn out of the log at the sawmill. Planks which run radially from the centre to the outside of the log are called quarter sawn, and in these boards the silvery patterns known as medullar rays are show to their best effect, especially in Oak.
This table also has a magazine shelf underneath.
This closeup of the Quarter sawn Oak coffee
table shows the "through mortice and tenon"
joints and the dark wood locking wedges which hold the
table tightly together. The beautiful pattern of the
medullar rays can also be seen.
