Bullet Oak: Formed by History
Dining Table, Media Unit, & Desk
Centuries ago, certain oak trees stood in the path of battle, silent witnesses to history, absorbing stray bullets and fragments of lead. Over time, these hidden traces reacted with the oak’s natural tannins, leaving behind faint grey mineral streaks: quiet signatures of survival.
When one of these trees is discovered, it is far more than timber. It is a relic of endurance, a fragment of the past preserved in grain and fibre. Known as Bullet Oak, this material is extraordinarily rare, its supply forever finite. No two pieces are alike; each carries its own quiet story.
From this scarce and storied wood, our craftsmen have created a limited collection of furniture that will never be repeated. Each piece bears the marks of time, shaped by history, and destined to remain truly one of a kind.
Bog Oak: 10,000 Years in the Making
Round Coffee Table
Formed over 10,000 years ago, Bog Oak is one of the rarest natural materials known. Preserved in peat bogs for millennia, its deep, near-black grain is the result of mineral absorption and the slow passage of time. Each piece is unique, its tone and texture impossible to replicate.
In this table, a section of ancient Bog Oak is suspended within a clear resin body, creating the illusion of weightlessness. The composition is anchored by a handcrafted bronze sculpture that forms the base, uniting natural and sculptural elements in perfect balance.
Subtle integrated LED lighting enhances the interplay of texture, shadow, and reflection, revealing the oak’s depth and detail within the resin. Designed and created in Guernsey by the Bonsai team, this piece represents a rare convergence of natural history, craftsmanship, and contemporary design.
Rectangular Coffee Table
This stunning coffee table is a rare fusion of nature and design, where ancient beauty meets modern form. The top is made from 10,000-year-old bog oak, suspended in clear resin that showcases the timber’s deep, rich tones and organic patterns – a timeless glimpse into the distant past.
The table is supported by a sleek black framed base, providing a striking contrast that highlights the natural warmth and character of the oak. Truly one-of-a-kind, it is made for those who seek something exceptional and enduring.
English Pippy Oak River Table
Crafted from rare English Pippy Burr oak, this dining table is a striking blend of natural beauty and modern design. A clear resin “river” flows through the center, revealing the raw, untamed edges of the oak beneath, as if nature itself has been captured in glass.
The elegant tabletop is supported by finely crafted steel legs, creating a perfect harmony of strength and sophistication. This is more than a table — it is a piece of artistry that tells a story, a statement of character and timeless design.
For those who crave something unique, exceptional, and destined to become a future classic, this table is waiting to transform a home.
Dragon Wooden Sculpture
Handcrafted from natural driftwood, this captivating sculpture reveals the powerful form of a dragon’s head when viewed from certain angles — an abstract yet unmistakable presence. Each twist and grain of the wood carries its own story, giving the piece a raw, organic beauty.
Despite its size (approx. 750mm tall including its stand), the sculpture feels light and airy, with open forms that let light pass through and cast striking shadows. It rests on two slender metal rods set into a natural stone base, combining strength and delicacy in equal measure.
A stunning statement piece and a true conversation starter — created by a renowned sculptor whose skill transforms found materials into something mythical and alive.
