Fossil Table
About the Item
This table is made from petrified palm wood and solid bronze. The surface of the top is polished to reveal the intricate details and the bronze base plate is carefully cut to match the outline of the fossilized wood. Every piece I make is unique. I work with a metal artist to create each design by hand, slowly unveiling the history and character of a once living tree.
Petrified palm wood can be found in the southern states on the Gulf of Mexico, where palm trees grew millions of years ago along the coast. Some trees were submerged and fossilized to form excellent petrified specimens. These pieces were obtained from the Catahoula Formation. The bronze base is made by a skilled metal artist who shapes the bronze using only hand tools.
At Shizen Studio, every consideration is made to respect the earth and her inhabitants. Designs are produced by a network of skilled artisans and makers that share a commitment to the environment, local community and quality craftsmanship. Glues are water-based and non-toxic. No VOC finishes are made from botanically derived oils and beeswax. All packing materials are reusable, biodegradable and recyclable. Each design is intended to foster a sense of connection to the natural world.
