The Flinders
The ‘Flinders’ - Available Now -
Can be seen and purchased at The Huon Pine Shop Strahan Tasmania
Many ships and boats became wrecked at Flinders Island Tasmania during the early trading and exploration days. These seaborn vessels were used for fishing, hunting seals and trade. This keel was used on such a vessel before becoming wrecked and left on the island. Later the keel was salvaged and sent to the slipways in Devonport Tasmania, with a dream of being restored and used upon the waterways once again. The slipways were later closed, and this keel, made from solid celery top pine, was sold at auction.
Over 100 years later, the keel now takes on a new form as the base of this hand-crafted table made in Tasmania. Huon Pine and stainless steel has been used to form the hull shaped legs, whilst more Celery Top Pine has been used to form the tables surface. These Celery boards have been carefully book matched in grain and solid bronze has been inlaid to embellish the table and help reflect our maritime history.
Table Measurements - 3.2 metres long x 1.1 metres wide.
Price includes Australia wide shipping. Given this tables size and weight it will need dismantling for shipping. The table will then require assembly onsite. As the maker I can arrange assembly in person in addition to the purchase cost. This can be quoted at time of sale and will depend on the destination. Otherwise, the table can be assembled with guidance at time of assembly.
