Burl Slab Coffee Table & Antique Asian Style Screen

Finally managed to get a few hours in my workshop today and got these two pieces ready for market.  The screen is Asian style, light wood frame with paper and fabric covering.  Hand painted in a very western looking motif; very attractive although it is also very old (100 yrs or more), and consequently somewhat on the fragile side.

Stumbled across the burl slab at a yard sale a few weeks ago, found leaning against a tree.  The guy running the sale seemed astonished that anyone wanted it, but here it is.  We love it, weathered, even burned around a couple of the edges, maintains something of the wild country from which it originally came.

Weather will be spectacular this Saturday and Sunday, so come on out to Georgetown Market Place or Fremont Sunday Market and see these and other interesting things we set up in these markets.

  1. The screen found a new home yesterday, but the table is still here. It is really tough to take things like these to the Market Places where we do most of our business these days. Will list the table on-line sometime today or tomorrow.
