A console table of Heart Pine measuring 36” W x 10” D x 30” H, this table features fingerspliced corner joints, exposed endgrain, and Black Walnut dot inlays. The result is a console of mid-century flair–but more Scandinavian simplicity than 50s kitsch. Another great piece produced by Counter Evolution is The Brooklyn, a large table (72” W x 32” D x 30” H) “cut from the ‘dovetail’ section of the lanes.” The table includes a Maple/Heart Pine splice with Black Walnut dart inlays–the aesthetic nod to the wood’s original life. While these darts are a clear reminder of the bowling alley, The Brooklyn tames the association by adding steel I-beam legs. Thankfully, Counter Evolution has thought of practical matters: The Brooklyn “comes with plastic, self-leveling, non-marring black caps to protect floors.” For other great examples of old wood re-adapted for new purposes, see 3rings article “Furniture of a Different Stripe” detailing the designs of Environment Furniture or Uhuru’s #1020 Beam Coffee Table designed by Jason Horvath.
