The wood is olive-green shot through with grey and a warm brown, figured rather than striped, with the grain rising and swirling instead of running straight. The cut end forms the top, capped flush by the clear material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet Off-Centre, So the Clear Falls on a Corner\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting the timber off-centre rather than in the middle is what gives this one its character. The clear margin gathers at a single corner and runs down two faces from it, so the block has a bright edge and a dark one, and from the bright corner the timber appears to float inside the material with a hand's width of air round it. From the opposite corner it is a plain wooden block. The figure suits that treatment: it is a moving, curling grain, olive where the wood is densest and grey where it has weathered, and it reads much better through a few centimetres of resin than it does dry, because the material wets the surface and lifts the colour the way an oil finish would. The cut top shows the same figure end on, ringed and slightly off-round. Every board is different and this one was chosen for the green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm it works as a side table, a stool or a plinth for something small. The off-centre casing means it has a preferred orientation: the clear corner towards the room and the light, the timber corner towards the wall. It suits a hall, beside a chair, at the end of a sofa, or as one of a pair flanking a doorway. Because two faces are wood to the edge it sits well beside other timber, and because two are clear it does not disappear against it. Give it side light rather than overhead so the figure lights through the margin. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Timber Sits in the Block, and the Green in the Grain\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The position of the timber inside the block is the decision that changes this most: off-centre as here for a bright corner, centred for an even margin all round, or hard to one side so a single face is entirely clear. Colour in the grain cannot be ordered - the olive comes from the board, and stock is offered for approval before cutting starts rather than promising a tone. The square of the plan can be made broader or slimmer, with the height following. The top can be capped flush as here or left standing slightly proud of the resin, which gives a lip and changes how it takes a tray. Where two are wanted, they are cut from one board and cast at different heights so that they match. It travels in one crate on a pallet, arrives solid with nothing to fit, and needs two people.
