These tables were made of wood that drifted onto our beach. The top is simply plywood. Because of this, the table legs have great character. The tables were built by community teamwork. I found the wood on our beach, where it drifted in, carried it up to the house and let it dry out. The table was constructed out of the driftwood by my husband, Joe, and our our neighbor, Steve Roessler, who worked on it together.
The bowl shown on the table is made of Tamarind wood, also found locally. The bowl was carved by another one of our neighbors, W. Stephen Knowles.
One of the special things about being down here in the Abacos is having time to really appreciate what is available, locally. Local wood and driftwood make such great arts and crafts projects.
