The Darby
The Darby is a celebration of wood. We search out beautiful and interesting pieces of timber that are full of character with fabulous grain.

Material Options
Every table is unique and distinctive


Knots and shakes (splits) are embraced rather than cut-out

Not all of the timber will have shakes but we rather like it when it does. We stabilise the split with butterfly ties – a traditional woodworking technique.
Knots are stabilised with resin.
With wainy edges left on, two wide sister boards are used and book matched (opened up to achieve a mirror effect) to give the impression of a magnificent slice of tree.
Offered in standard sizes to seat 8 or 10, we can also make the Darby in bespoke lengths and widths. Call us for details.




The Darby legs are made with patinated bronze which picks up the warm tones of the timber.
