The way in which the branch was cut meant that there was a natural split in the wood which we have emphasised by using stainless steel inserts to securely join it back together. The toughened glass top is specially cut to follow the profile of the ring and sits neatly into a recess. We can offer a choice of bases as shown in the pictures and we have a limited number of similar size, and larger rings, which are currently available to order. Please contact us through 'ask seller a question' before ordering to discuss your specific requirements, price may vary.
