Over the past ten years I have bought a large quantity of wooden industrial moulds which over a hundred years ago were used by industry.  I had some significant circular moulds that had beautiful surfaces and the thought at the back of my mind was always how to use them most effectively.  Over time the thought came to me to construct metal bases for these circular forms which would be in harmony with the past industrial use of these pieces.

The idea was to screw the wooden top to the metal base and when combined these pieces really came alive as one off sculptural dining tables and coffee tables.
