Title
Original woodwork by Colin Watmough: handmade tables
Description
Water tables workshop
Colin Watmough's workshop is light, airy, and considering the amount of activity that must go on here, surprisingly uncluttered. In the middle of one wall there's a small stove burning sawdust and offcuts of wood. Three tabletops are propped against one wall, waiting for a final sanding or another coat of lacquer and the walls are hung with long sash cramps and shelves bearing bundles of veneers, but apart from these the room is relatively empty.
Colin has been making tables with inlaid marquetry designs for more than twenty years and in that time he's developed a remarkable series of "water tables' that create the effect of looking into a stream or pool of water. Many of the designs include schools of fishes, often cleverly distorted as if seen through the surface of water, Colin tells me:
"I like to allow the wood to speak for itself with a minimum of interference and detail. I look for images that I can use within each sheet of veneer."
