This is a followup to the previous Dtube post about the table we built from a 1000 year old sinker Cypress log that we pulled out of a river and turned into a beautiful table. If you haven't watched the video you should check it out now. Here is the link:
We worked on this table for the better part of 6 months before we safely delivered it to its new home. We stood on this log when it was still sitting in the river and we've traveled with it from the Ogeechee river in Louisville, Ga to the sawmill in Nashville, TN, back to our shop in Athens, Ga and finally to the penthouse of the Four Seasons in Atlanta, Ga. We connect deeply with this piece of wood which was once lost at the bottom of a river but now overlooks the city. We too, once felt lost and hopeless but we were given an opportunity to start over, and have now found our purpose. No matter how insignificant you may feel, you have something valuable to offer the world, it's never too late to find your way and rise up.
THat is friggen gorgeous.......
