Rare one-of-a-kind petrified wood table with petrified Douglas fir set in cherry wood

A petrified wood table, with a petrified Douglas fir slab integrated into its tabletop, set in a cherry wood frame. An artistic connection of 50 million-year-old mineral wood with living cabinetmaking wood.

Petrified Douglas fir comes from Oligocene or Miocene sediments, where the trunks of this conifer genus were encased in volcanic ash and converted into quartz wood through permineralization. The wood fiber structure is preserved cell by cell as a mineral replica.

The cherry wood frame surrounds the fossil slab, creating a dialogue between time scales: the organic cabinetmaking wood matures over decades, while the petrified wood documents millions of years.

Such furniture pieces are handcrafted bespoke items. The cabinetmaking workshop incorporates a fossil slab into a wooden structure that meets static requirements while showcasing the fossil's aesthetic side.

A collector's item at the intersection of paleontology, cabinetmaking, and furniture design.
