I bought this slab of Yew a while back, due to the fact that it was probably the coolest piece of Yew I had actually seen. It was only an 1" thick and not very large but believed it would be perfect for a number of side river tables, I used some teal coloured epoxy to form the 'river' and decided to leave the natural edges (for now). The base is made from moisture resistant MDF and sprayed with a textured stone finish, I used this method to make a light years ago but unsure it matches well with the top … thanks for inspecting it out.

I was starting to question.๐ค๐ซฃ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ Until you turned it over…. ๐๐ฅฐ Beautiful table!! ๐๐ค๐ค
I think they go well together, Andy. Yew did a great job (sorry but I had to do it lol).

Ooooh ๐ฎ I always loved these type of tables โค. I agree about the base but only in the…color choice? Like, in my opinion, I feel pure wood look would be better. Ooh, or mini versions of the table top in the same pattern as the base ๐ค
Looks fantastic! The base looks great ๐
Iโll admit, the top is top tier, but that base has a kind of concrete slab look that really doesnโt mesh well. You could lean into a concrete jungle look tho if you added some extra plant like details on the base, just as an idea
The base was very interesting, I believe it works well with table top. You took quite a chance on this one. Very nicely done
Oooooo this is very elvish in its look! It has a whole urban fantasy vibe that i seriously love! The spiral base is fantastic and the paint you chose makes it look like burnished steel!
I like that sir wish i had your creative mind and the talent to make it happen.
That top is stunning! I don’t think it goes well with the base, though. I could see that base with like a slab of granite or marble.
I wasn’t too sure at first, but now that I see it, it’s really quite nice, I love the blue resin and the wood is just beautiful, all in all a lovely piece Andy
That is weirdly beautiful! I love art deco, so the geometric base appeals to me, but I also love the natural wood. The way the grain goes with the gorgeous blue makes it look like a coloured geological map of a river basin! I’d definitely give it house room!
Each of the two elements is beautiful, but I don’t think they talk to each other. I couldn’t begin to work out where it was going till the end. The sudden inversion was an Ooooh moment .
I love the bass, I think it’s extremely creative and artistic! I think I would have done a glass top on it rather than the one that you put on it. However, I absolutely love the top! I think that would make an amazing countertop in the kitchen or anywhere. LOL
Don’t knock the base. It might clash with the live edge yew, but it is so reminiscent of Art Deco moderne hard-soft formal styling, it has its own beauty. If you ever watched Poirot, they used that styling in a house of the era and style, and the naturalistic elements were always constrained to surfaces, and given machined edges, like flooring. So naturalism was secondary. But that base reminds me of the paintings of Baroness De Lempicka from that era – sensual but formed, and disciplined. Lol. I just woke up, so forgive me. I love your work.
You asked for opinions so: I love the top. I love the base. But not in combination. They distract from each other and clash. I agree with others a nice simple polished concrete or marble top – preferably round on the deco base. A simple and understated base for that beautiful yew river top, and in woodโฆ.
Just love the simplicity of the stand design that makes this piece shine. I’ve no doubt this will be snapped up after it hits your site! Well done!!
Itโs gorgeous! The combo is really striking.
I wouldn’t have thought to put these two together, but it works! I like the combination and they way it turned out. Nicely done!
The table top is very beautiful! I can see myself looking at it for hours. I get the idea about the base – but it doesnโt have the rustic beauty of the top. Itโs good to experiment though otherwise how does anyone come up with anything! Thanks for this. Very inspiring!
Stunning! My favorite piece so far.
