Kei dining table

keiimagetest

Named after the Dutch word 'boulder' and also the Japanese 'square jewel' or 'blessing', the Kei table has a dramatic solid burr or burl oak top with a minimal angled base. The base was in inspired by a medieval Japanese tea ceremony as well as the angles found in Japanese characters. The waney edge or live edge table top was popularized by George Nakashima and more recently by Tim Stead. The natural edge of the table top shows the original shape of the burr / burl on side of the tree.

  • I’ve been exploring some of the limitation of the #wingknife. I was keen to find out the limitation in size that could be cut with it. In this video I’m shaving a 4 inch willow log. This size is just in the range of being comfortable.

For those of you who are wondering when the #wingknife will be available to buy, I’m hoping to open the shop soon. In the meantime there’s link in the my bio which will take you to a page where you can leave your email to receive a heads up when the shop will be opening.
