By reSAWN TIMBER co. In RSTco. furniture /

Recently installed at corporate headquarters for confidential client, this beautiful conference table by RSTco. features North American White Oak bookmatched slabs with live edge and matte conversion varnish finish. Bookmatching is the practice of matching two wood slabs so that adjoining surfaces mirror each other, giving the impression of an opened book.

All RSTco. furniture is custom built and finished in our woodshop from locally sourced and sustainably harvested wood species. we prefer and specialize in solid wood construction as well as using traditionally joinery wherever possible. we offer a variety of finishes that are both durable and complimentary to the wood. other media in addition to wood are often incorporated into designs such as steel.

PINKU is the new BLACK

shou sugi ban wall cladding + black walnut conference table

PINKU is one of the newest designs in the CHARRED collection from reSAWN TIMBER co. To create the CHARRED colors, reSAWN starts with cypress wood in either #2 common grade or select grade. TThe wood is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed to remove dust and loose debris, and then stained/sealed to create the unique designs you will find in the CHARRED collection. The top coat sealer is applied prior to shipping (for exterior applications, we recommend sealing the face & back). The unique shou sugi ban burning process is what accentuates the wood grain and allows us to create the CHARRED COLORS – rather than a simple stained piece of wood, you get a textured and varied look with black accents from the charring. To maintain a newer aesthetic of the oil finished COLORS, the oil should be reapplied every 2-4 years. However, as weathering, exposure conditions, altitude, and applications can vary, maintenance may be needed sooner and should be performed when visually necessary, regardless of time frame. Alternatively, reSAWN offers two fully CHARRED designs called HAI and MOYASU which require less maintenance long term as there is no wood grain exposed under the top coat due to the full char. Most of the CHARRED COLORS are finished with an exterior grade oil that protects the wood against the elements – JINZU and MIDORI are finished with an interior only oil and should not be specified for exterior applications.

PINKU is featured here along with RSToc. CONFERENCE TABLE 3 in north american black walnut. RSTco. was created to distinguish our increasing work with custom millwork and furniture. The founders and craftsmen of RSTco. have been creating furniture pieces for private customers for 30+ years and reSAWN has grown to a national presence with sales reps and projects around the USA and abroad.

LIVE EDGE WOOD TABLE TOPS :: TOAST IN NAPA VALLEY

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In Inspiring Designs, RSTco. furniture /

Toast Kitchen & Bar in Oakland, California was founded by Kristen Policy and Heather Sittig. A felled redwood tree from Kristen’s garden was sawn into slabs and used as tables tops, with Burrow sawhorses serving for the legs. This project also makes use of reclaimed bleacher boards from a local high school gym (complete with graffiti), and glasses and water bottles are all made from recycled glass.
