Another shot of my father's latest handcarved Scottish elm Otter Table. More intimately scaled than some of his previous pieces, but retaining that remarkable animation, and liquid wood feel, this is a very special work of art.

Up close an personal with one of my father's latest otters. (If he looks serious, it's because he's got a long swim ahead - he's off to Canada.)

Flipping fifty kilos of solid elm isn't easy singlehanded, but tables need otters, so a bit of invention is occasionally required.
