Item of Interest

Project by BrianM posted 600 days ago 351 views 0 times favorited 6 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Not great pictures, but you will get the idea.

This is not wood and a explanation may be in order. In Maine we have a co-op gallery with items of iron, wood, stone and glass. Tenotim used to be a member until he decided to move to Texas.

Thought you would be interested in this table our iron guy just completed. The base is iron, but the top is a piece of 3 foot square crushed lobster shells that are held together with epoxy (it’s a patented system the girl that makes them has) and has a 1/4” plate glass secured to the crushed shells.

She makes a number of items with this product, but this is our first venture into furniture.

The goal is to have the tourists come here and spend a lot of money on a lobster dinner and then drop a grand to take the lobster waste back home with them in the form of a table :))

Waste nothing!

Is this the “Lobsterware” girl, Tamara? This is nice. I guess it’s a good thing I moved all of that big Arts & Crafts furniture out, so she’d have room to expand. This is for the big lobster eaters. ;o]

Brian,

That is a very unique table. It that its natural color or is it dyed?

Hey Scott.

It is the natural color of the shells mixed with the exoxy. She also does one in mussel shells which is a pretty blue.
