A Table That Seamlessly Blends Walnut and Brass

Wüd Furniture Design's gorgeous Nola Dining Table

Brass and walnut are two great tastes that taste great together. But I've never seen the two materials integrated in such a beautiful way as this:

That's the Nola Dining Table by Brooklyn-based Wüd Furniture Design. The description states that the table is constructed from "bronze encased in resin," and I have no idea how they pulled this off. Wüd founder Corey Springer is a sculpture design graduate from the University of Massachusetts, and presumably the man knows a thing or two about bending materials to his will.

Unsurprisingly, there are not a bunch of these sitting in a warehouse; Springer & co. make them to order, with a lead time of 10 weeks.

Looks like the bronze is fitted into a slot cut into the side edge of the walnut slab, then the whole thing is dunked into and suspended in a mold filled with resin to cover the bronze and mesh cleanly with the edge of the live slab. Repeat for the other side, sand down and polish up the edges? I'd love to see a production video. Very beautiful

Beautiful.

Did the same as a short student project. Created a mold, inserted the wood, filled in molten pewter, sanded, and voila. http://www.petholmger.com/uneven-cubes.html
The execution of the table is of course immaculate, but the methods are quite simple.
