Product Details:
Hand made from solid English Elm, a rare and feature-rich wood.  Carefully selected from our wood supplier and fully kiln dried, the wood was cut from a 600 year old English Elm Tree.  This table is made from a single slab of premium English Elm.  We have worked hard to preserve the knots and waney features in this piece, filling any natural crevices with Black resin to provide a beautifully smooth and natural surface.

Buffed and polished to an almost mirror like finish, we use the best oils in the industry to make sure that this table is scratch resistant meaning that the finish will preserve the table for many years while providing a beautifully smooth and shiny finish.

The quality of the wood along with our steel reinforcement bars mean that the bench is built in a way that allows it to naturally expand and shrink with temperature changes while the steel reinforcement bars ensure that the table will never warp or twist, always remaining beautifully flat and smooth, as you would expect from a piece of this quality.

Beautifully characterised by a live edge and made from 100% solid English Elm throughout, this is our best-selling multi-purpose bench.  This bench is ideal as a hallway feature or to match a dining table, thanks to its simple and elegant lines, coupled with its unique and imposing steel base and unique live edge design.

Legs:
On this table we have incorporated our best-selling V shaped legs, made from 5mm thick box steel, these legs are built like tank traps, weighing over 10kg each!

We felt that with such a heavy and solid wood bench, only the best steel legs would make the grade to compliment it.  The 'overkill' nature of the legs compared to many competitor table legs mean that this table gives a really striking and imposing feel in any room.  The legs are incredibly strong and solid to look at and touch, and ooze a feeling of pure quality.

Is It Real Solid English Elm?

Yes!  Made from the rarest 600 year old English Elm, our Rustic English Elm is full of natural character and knots, with contrasting colour tones and English Elm's trademark long flowing grain patterns running the full length and thickness of the bench.  This bench is made from a single slab, with a width of around 40cm, crafted into a beautiful 2.2m long bench.

We as your furniture maker are your guardian angel when it comes to English Elm because of the large variation in quality. Because of our confidence in our timber supplier, we provide you with a solid guarantee on its longevity.  This bench is built to last for a few lifetimes.

Is It Really Handmade?

Sorrell & Smith hand make all of our products.  This means that no robotic machinery is used at any point in producing our products.  Every single piece that leaves our workshop is a one-off piece which has unique character with the knots and swirls.  Our craftsmen have created this bench in such a way that the natural grain, live edges, and crevices are preserved and then finished to a beautifully smooth surface.  The black epoxy resin inside the crevices create an absolutely stunning texture across the whole bench.

While many companies pump out “hand built” furniture, put together poorly, from cheap materials, Sorrell & Smith do it differently.  We put obsessive care into every piece that we make, using only the very best materials.  As a result, the end products are show-stopping centrepieces that can set off any luxury dining room.  Forget 'oak' furniture - english elm is the true best of the best.

What Is "Live Edge"?

Live edge or natural edge is a style of furniture where our talented craftsmen incorporate the natural edge of the wood into the design of the piece. There are special challenges involved in creating this type of piece, and Sorrell & Smith have finessed the perfect method for bringing out the natural character of the wood while leaving an impeccably luxurious finish.
