Can someone explain how all the planks of the bog oak fit together so perfectly? The article says go to their instagram for details but I'm not really getting a whole lot when I click on individual photos.
It's usually done by machine, but the traditional process is manual of course.

For the scale they are doing, they might be able to set up a more customized solution. For example, a router attached to some guide tracks like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph

It seems like a beautiful but laborious process that is mostly applicable to a very high effort piece like this.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Ikea has made millennials think furniture is disposable.
I think that's a bit misplaced, as millenials are in their 40's now, so they probably don't just throw things away like you assume. But also... I used to live out in the woods and had to haul my garbage to the dump every few months. (I didn't want to burn plastic, like some of my crazy neighbors did.) The city dump changes seasonally. After Christmas, there are piles of old toys that were replaced. After summer, ther…
When moving day comes around, I'm guessing you have to offer more than just beer & pizza when it comes to moving a 43' table.
And 43' of table with the density of ebony..! From the article: 72 lbs/ft^3. Estimating the table width at 6', and thickness at 2", that would be a total weight of 3096 lbs. Plus a healthy non-zero for the legs and other supports. If you carry the tabletop (legs and trusses removed) with 24 people, 12 on a side, one every 4 feet, that would be 129 lbs each. OSHA would not approve. You could probably find 24 people at…
While the furniture is beautiful, (that cabinet is out of this world), do you really need bog oak to give it that beauty? Can't it be manufactured to the same beauty using wood from today's trees?
I had never heard of bog oak before, but this material is absolutely stunning. I really wish there was more appreciation of proper heirloom-quality furniture and things in general. I think it's part of making living more ecological, and it's a form of generational wealth. Unfortunately we live in an era of cheapest possible items, and disposal of things when they go out of style. Something like this never goes out of…
Another similar thing is water logged trees - they pull trees which sat for centuries in Slovakia's lakes. They fill the cracks with metal (bronze).
A bonus point it's that the table becomes a "story".
Pretty much everything in the house needs to have a "story", which is more important than the actual thing.
