Surabu - Scottish Burr Oak Dining Table by Anselm Fraser Design
About the Item
Surabu was designed for our rare collection of massive burr oak slabs which came from an eight hundred year old oak tree sustainably sourced in Scotland. Burrs are most commonly caused by injury, bacterial infection or a fungal disease which often leads to flaws and areas of softer rotting timber. Sometimes a natural flaw has intrinsic beauty and should be celebrated, as can be seen in the dark fault line in the images. Areas of rot, however, have been dug out and replaced with inlay of a mosaic nature, using offcuts from the same burr slab so that the effect is one of subtle abstract geometry.
A diagonal chamfer runs along the edge of the tabletop, which seamlessly blends into the upper twist of each leg before tapering downwards. Concealing the apron by setting it back from the edge meant attaching the legs to the tabletop required innovative joint-work. Heavily influenced by the ingenuity of Sashimono (the ancient Japanese approach to joinery), the hidden joint gives the table its stability in the absence of a connecting apron. The only visible evidence is the square tapered pegs in bog oak, set at an acute angle to each corner (see close-up in images).

Anselm Fraser Design
“We try to approach form and function equally in paying tribute to the trees whose life we have the privilege to extend” There is fulfilment in the art of doing. Making furniture is busy, it is physical and often mentally demanding but for many artisan creatives there is a peace too, when absorbed in one’s craft. We believe there is no right or wrong approach when it comes to woodworking, what is most important is appreciation in the process, coupled with a curiosity for innovation. These are the two traits we look for most in our makers; technical ability can be taught, but with integrity comes an honesty that is much harder to find and, we think, shines through in the products we make. Much of Anselm’s childhood was spent in his father’s antique restoration workshop. Coming face-to-face with over 4 centuries of fine furniture and learning a craft that would help preserve a heritage for the next generation to enjoy, was an inspiring antidote to the throw-away society beginning to take shape in the UK at the time. Today’s level of excessive consumerism is sometimes hard to comprehend and there is comfort in the knowledge that our intention is to create beautiful objects for people to enjoy for decades to come.
