I Used 12 Different Woods To Make This Nature-Inspired Table In One Month
I always get inspiration from the world around me. Especially now, when I live and work in one of the most beautiful places on earth – the Altai Republic, Russia. I am inspired by natural materials, and I also love a ceramic mosaic. I’ve been combining the materials in my projects for many years. I like to do what no one did before me, I like complex and challenging projects.
I used wind fallen trees, some cut trees left after the fruit orchards thinning, and some trees were just brought by my friends. I have personally handled and prepared all the wood for my project.
I had such type of wood as: oak, Manchurian walnut, apricot tree, apple tree, pear tree, karagach, ash, birch, ash-tree maple, American walnut, cherry tree, larch, rowan and a little mahogany.
I used a miter saw, a grinder, a very sharp knife for wood blocks trimming, carpenter’s glue, putty, a matte varnish.
Before the coffe table, I made a floor art from random wood pieces with a mosaic, a wooden sink with a mosaic, and a “melting” frame for a mirror. I work in different areas of art: mosaic, interior design, modeling, furniture design, woodwork, metalwork and others.
My hands are my Art Studio. I don’t have any space or office that could be called an Art Studio where I carry out my projects. I work directly on the site. My “Studio” is very mobile, because if I take my hands, the “Studio” can easily move to another city or country. All necessary tools, materials, and equipment I can rent or buy everywhere in the world. This makes me very happy because I wish to travel and do cool projects in different countries.

So much energy invested but totally worth it!
