Dining Table (English Oval), Reclaimed Hardwood, Sand Cast Brass Base
The English Oval Dining table was crafted from reclaimed Ching Chan wood, a rare rosewood family we sourced from an old house near the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya (P. Tendercool is based in Thailand). Traditionally Ching Chan wood are use in decorative furniture throughout royal courts in Asia and prized for its exceptional hardness and waxy appearance.
The wood is so durable that many of the Ming and Qing dynasties heirloom survived through the centuries in almost mint condition up to this day. The hardness of Ching Chan allows us to create a sleek thin profile yet durable that can withstand everyday use. We beveled the edges following the contour of the elliptical shape using CNC cutting and hand sand until the table is leveled to perfection. Finally, finishing the top with multiple layers hard wax oil to bring out the wood grain. The wood top is supported by sand cast brass PT2 base for maximum leg room. This modern interpretation of rose wood will sure to become a cherished piece for generations.

Reclaimed Hardwood
P. Tendercool is based in Thailand, where a couple of generations ago every house was a wooden one. Thailand was spoiled for choice and many houses were constructed using now rare exotic tropical woods. We made it our mission to score these and turn vintage floors, beams, and pillars into truly unique furniture, created for you, towards your specifications.
We use traditional wood-working techniques and – unless you ask otherwise – refrain from levelling the bottom of a table. Our furniture will more often than not show imperfections we cherish, traces of its past: old wooden pegs, old joinery, some restored holes, all signs of the wood’s previous life.
Table Bases
Our table-bases are sand cast by hand, one by one, by Octogenarian Armando Benato and his team. Armando started working with his uncle when he was fourteen and even worked for artists like Salvador Dalí. Care for a better reference?
Most of our bases are available in Bronze, Brass or Aluminum in a number of finishes. Download our catalogue to learn more.
