Brodie Neill's ReCoil Table, Made from Hydrowood Off-Cuts
Three kilometers of veneer!
Earlier we wrote about Hydrowood, the incredibly well-preserved timber being harvested from an underwater forest in Tasmania. The submerged trees have yielded gorgeous lumber:
It would be a shame for any of that prized wood to go to waste, but the furniture-making process invariably yields off-cuts. London-based furniture designer Brodie Neill got his hands on some Hydrowood veneer off-cuts and has put them to good use, coiling over 3km of them to create his ReCoil table:

"The pattern pays homage to the annual growth ring formations of the treasured old growth trees," observes Australian magazine Yellowtrace.

The ReCoil table is not yet up on Neill's website, though it was exhibited at a recent retrospective of Neill's work.

Sailing on the fame of the wood, we are now presented with a pretty uninspired design for a table top. Could have been any type of wood veneer now.
And how about the waste of a ton of glue getting the 3 kilometers of strip together?
I actually think the design is brilliant and uses off cuts well. I just question the harvest of unsustainable wood, but that doesn't detract from the simple and elegant work.
Zack, veneer doesn't hold the same authenticity.
seems pretty wasteful but it looks cool......
It certainly doesn't look efficient in terms of labor, but the veneer strips were all made from offcuts and would have otherwise likely been waste material
yes but miles of wood was turned into one table. It's great they were diverted from going to waste but they could have covered hundreds of table-tops (how veneer is usually used) instead of making one table.
