Modern Log Furniture Fuses Sliced Trunks & Organic Resins

Strangely enough, the creative duo behind these hybrid synthetic/organic designs will be the first to tell you: even they are not sure what the piece will look like when the resin solidifies and the finished object is revealed.

Michael Thomas Host and Tanja Hinder of mth woodworking in Vancouver, BC, use sections of trees ranging from 60 to 600 years old to craft new works.

The idea? Chaotic nature moves into contemporary contexts (and can be easily cleaned and eaten off of) but still use 100% all-natural materials.

Usually using the base of trees essentially as is, they decide how best to feature its inherent shape with a minimalist resin addition - rather than first imaging the result, then working to produce it.

The pair also prefers action to talk - in that spirit, well, the beautiful items above can largely speak for themselves.
