I personally inspect and catalogue all our timber slabs before they are stored for drying. We love to connect our clients to the place where the tree was rescued, so we put the geographic coordinates of where the tree was found on our furniture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to salvaging from rivers, Tr\u00e9ology uses wood that has been submerged in fjords and historical timber from earthquake sites in Christchurch. The ancient kauri timber employed in its lauded Umber collection comes from swamps in northern New Zealand, a sacred Maori site, where it had lain underwater for more than 45,000 years, preserved by the low oxygen conditions. Once retrieved, the logs must be given time to dry before they can be made into furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWaiting a few more years before we use them takes a bit of patience, but like a fine whiskey, good things take time,\u201d Davies says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Stickbulb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stickbulb_Boom_01_gallery_1_1_1__master-950x556.jpg\" alt=\"Stickbulb's Double Boom chandelier made from reclaimed wood.\" class=\"wp-image-344539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stickbulb_Boom_01_gallery_1_1_1__master-950x556.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stickbulb_Boom_01_gallery_1_1_1__master-598x350.jpg 598w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stickbulb_Boom_01_gallery_1_1_1__master-120x70.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stickbulb_Boom_01_gallery_1_1_1__master-768x450.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stickbulb_Boom_01_gallery_1_1_1__master.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/lighting\/chandeliers-pendant-lights\/double-boom-chandelier-wood-led-lamp-heart-pine-brass-stickbulb\/id-f_15598822\/\">Stickbulb&#8217;s Double Boom chandelier<\/a> can be made of reclaimed heart pine or of redwood from New York City water towers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/stickbulb\/\">Stickbulb<\/a> honors a different kind of landscape: the urban jungle of New York City.

In those days, furniture was made to last for generations. Veneers, when used, were sawn thick and could be easily patched, repaired and refinished,\u201d Newman says. \u201cWhen we use veneer, we saw it ourselves at least 1\/16 of an inch thick. We stick it on wood cores. It is made to last.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until recently, Newman walked the woods with his loggers to personally select each piece of sapele mahogany \u2014 a sustainably grown hardwood \u2014 for the studio\u2019s sensual, sculptural carved wood chairs and tables. The wood used in its exquisite bog oak furniture is ancient and often has a fascinating backstory. The 1,200-year-old timber for its Infinity screen, for instance, was part of the cargo of a Turkish ship sunk in the Dnieper River, in Ukraine, in a battle with Russians soldiers in the 1600s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/tables\/coffee-tables-cocktail-tables\/organic-bog-oak-coffee-table-reeded-column-white-oak-legs\/id-f_18328252\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bog_Oak_Coffee_Table_Image_2_master-950x713.jpeg\" alt=\"The top of this Thomas Newman coffee table is made from 3,000-year-old reclaimed bog oak.\" class=\"wp-image-344534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bog_Oak_Coffee_Table_Image_2_master-950x713.jpeg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bog_Oak_Coffee_Table_Image_2_master-467x350.jpeg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bog_Oak_Coffee_Table_Image_2_master-120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bog_Oak_Coffee_Table_Image_2_master-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bog_Oak_Coffee_Table_Image_2_master.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The top of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/tables\/coffee-tables-cocktail-tables\/organic-bog-oak-coffee-table-reeded-column-white-oak-legs\/id-f_18328252\/\">Thomas Newman coffee table<\/a> is made of 3,000-year-old reclaimed bog oak.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrees have a yearning to live again, perhaps to provide the beauty, strength, and utility to serve man, even to become an object of great artistic worth.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/george-nakashima\/furniture\/\">George Nakashima<\/a> wrote in <em>The Soul of a Tree<\/em>, a book Thomas Newman considers crucial reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By making beautiful, long-lasting pieces that are gentle on the environment and telling incredible stories through their craft, these makers are honoring nature and the materials they work with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every piece of wood tells a story, especially wood recovered from 400-year-old shipwrecks or from devastating earthquakes.
