This is a commission I completed recently…. The client wanted it made with the Cedar and in a Rustic style…. The table is 42” tall, so everything had to be tall. It features the live edges and inlaid Turquoise. The pedestal is a Cedar post and the base is a piece that shows lots of voids and character features.
The stools also feature the live edges and Turquoise. They swivel and have a sculpted seat. The backs are cut and sculpted from solid pieces and sit on solid branches .
The set is finished with spar varnish.

that is some beautiful contrasting wood grain, and the finish is really smooth.
Did you use green wood, or was it dried when you started working on this?

I’m not always the biggest fan of the rustic look for it’s own sake, nor of the use of Turquoise, just because it’s so overdone….
But man, you make it work! If I walked into a place with table and stools like that, I’d really notice! Very high quality work, and perhaps the best statement of art is to take something that might very well be “overused” and somehow make it fresh and new and special. Outstanding. Love the inlay.
