We Needed A Table



Bits and pieces.....
nuts and bolts......
odds and ends.....

steel destined for the scrap heap...

till we scrounged it....

drilled... welded...
cut with a torch...
irregular... nothing perfect...

legs three... triangular...

it started taking shape...

raw and rough.... very heavy...
rust encouraged... oiled occasionally
somewhat polished with patina remaining...



Eventually it turned into a piece of amusing functional sculpture

We call it... The Bird's Foot Table.


and it delights us...

....as a matter of fact... it has almost become a member of the family...


























































This is one of three steel tables we created years ago, to take with us when we attend Art/Craft shows.. the rest of the time it hangs around the house...
