Hollow Tables

As mentioned in Cedar Comments, many of the hollow logs that come through Wille Logging get salvaged and turned into furniture and/or artwork by talented craftspeople and artists.  Here is an example of such a chunk of wood that made the transformation from "rotten and worthless" to "beautiful and functional."

This piece was designed and commissioned by Don Wille and created with the help of three Minnesota wood artists and Debbie Wille.  The table is made of a hollow white pine log and the carvings were created out of Wille Logging materials.
Table & Carvings not for sale.

Here is the table with its glass top and other household objects on top.

Removing the top glass helps the camera take better photos of the layered scene inside the table, which mimics a lake.  Here a carved duck decoy sits on top of a clear, plexiglass 'water surface.'

 

 

 Looking down past the duck, a lake bottom scene has been created.  

The plexiglass distorts the camera image of the lake bottom.

 

At the bottom of the table are two beautiful carved fish and two carved lures.  

Though difficult to photograph, the table is really quite detailed and interesting to view in person.

Wille Bench-Tables These benches are a great way for our good small "leftover" cuts of cedar to get used. No one wants to throw away excellent cedar just because it's not a regular lumber yard length.Our bench-tables come in 5' lengths.

Each backrest swivels upward and latches into place so a single bench can be converted to a mini-table, or two can be set together to create a traditional styled picnic table. The photos show the bench with a finish coat. It is sold unfinished so you can decide how the final piece will look. We have several benches in stock...give us a call if you would like one or two for your own yard.

Landscape TimbersOur natural sided landscape timbers are beautiful for home or yard. We mill three sides of the timber flat, and the fourth side is left as the natural log presents.
