driftwood furniture

On a walk around Mount Maunganui last weekend I stumbled on some stunning pieces of driftwood, and got me thinking about what I could use them for... funny how the universe works cos just days before I was flicking through a magazine and saw a picture of a driftwood coffee table! Hmmm.... 

I love the juxtapositions in a piece like this... the smooth against rough, man made and natural, the rugged and gnarled against polished,  transparent and solid...
