Hand-Built in our Nottinghamshire Workshop The Artisan X-Frame Edition represents the pinnacle of the Forest & Fable collection. By moving away from industrial steel to 100% Solid European Oak, that provides a level of architectural warmth and continuity. The Science of the Build Building a herringbone top that stays true over time is a science, not just a craft. Hand-Milled Parquet: We use 20mm thick Solid European Oak, hand-making every single piece in-house. Tongue & Groove Joinery: We use traditional interlocking joinery for minimal movement and maximum durability. 40mm Signature Top: The finished top is a chunky 40mm thick designed to stay flat, tight, and true for decades. Seasonal Bracing: Because wood is a living material, we’ve spent years refining our internal bracing techniques to allow the timber to breathe without losing its shape. The All-Oak Foundation We’ve replaced our standard steel legs with heavyweight, architectural Solid Oak X-Frame legs. Milled from the same high-grade timber as the tabletop, these legs create a seamless, organic aesthetic. The Finish: Both the table and legs are hand finished in your choice of our 8 signature hard-wax oils for a perfectly coordinated, high-end look.
