Nathan Anderson, Natural edge solid fiddleback Bastogne walnut table - This table's wood is from a tree from Sonoma and has given itself for this fabulous table! It was created by Nathan from one slab, base and all. The narrow tip of the walnut slab was used to make the legs along with some metal with a gun blue patina to finish the base. It measures 106" long by 30" tall and the width varies from 39" to 47" as it follows the natural shape of the wood.
Nathan Anderson first became interested in wood at 16 years old. While still in high school he started milling logs under the guidance of a veteran Sawyer with the intention of making that his career. Nathan started by recovering logs from local rivers and the Pacific Ocean and selling it one board at a time. Later he borrowed money from a friend to buy logs and lumber, resold them, and kept going from there. After working for 15 years as an intern he bought his own sawmill, a manual LT40 Wood-Mizer band mill, which he still uses today along with a super hydraulic LT40 Wood-Mizer and an Alaskan mill.
Sustainability is a priority for us. We sell and work with hardwoods and softwoods sourced from Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. The majority of our inventory is salvaged from beaches, rivers, yards, orchards, and construction demolition. We also provide custom milling services and mill all of our own lumber at a mill site in nearby Albion.
