Hair-like sisal is used to playful effect in this table. The raw fibres are from the leaves of the agave plant, an agricultural waste left over from tequila distilleries.
Formerly produced to make rugs, ropes and fishing nets, sisal use has diminished with the invention of plastic.
Fernando Laposse's designs support local employment and the development of new agave plantations that help to retain rainfall on over-farmed, barren landscapes.

Waste Age: What can design do?
(October 2021 – February 2022)
We all know waste is a big problem. So how are we going to fix it?
A new generation of designers is rethinking our relationship to everyday things. From fashion to food, electronics to construction, even packaging - finding the lost value in our trash and imagining a future of clean materials and a circular economy could point the way out of the Waste Age.
Explore major new exhibits that capture the devastating impact of waste including a large-scale art installation by Ibrahim Mahama made from e-waste in Ghana.
The exhibition showcases some of the visionary designers who are reinventing our relationship with waste, including Formafantasma, Stella McCartney, The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Lacaton & Vassal, Fernando Laposse, Bethany Williams, Phoebe English and Natsai Audrey Chieza.
'We must face the problem of waste – we can no longer ignore what happens to things when we get rid of them. Instead of thinking of objects as things that have an end life, they can have many lives. This is not just an exhibition it is a campaign, and we all have an active part in our future.' Gemma Curtin, Curator.

Photo is taken in a abandoned coal plant. The complex was closed in 1977. In the building you will still find the equipment and tools which these men have worked with.
I'm posting this photo to retrieve it soon. I'll use it to talk about our upcoming story, in worship, about Jesus overturning the tables in the Temple in Jerusalem.
These are actualy picnic tables at Elmwood Park Zoo, waiting for guests to use them in the spring.
Cut the bits for the table top and the fense.
Experienced my first Kick-Back while cutting the triangle bit, so now I am more aware!!!
At this table, we closed on our first house. There were many papers to sign but it wasn't too bad. Apparently our seller was pretty much insane. Oh well - our house now!
Probably 15 years ago I put 4 medium star tables out in a shed and haven’t looked at them since. A couple things have happened lately to make me think that I should get a picture of at least the top of the tables. This forth medium star table that I made is 32” across and 30” high when the pedestal is attached to it. It has 16 kinds of wood on it and over 3200 pieces of wood including what is on the pedestal and feet. They have held up very well in the boxes that I had them stored in considering the hot and cold that they have been in over the years.
One thing I don’t like about these tables is that back then I was using Elmer’s glue to mix with sawdust to fill the small cracks between the pieces. Then in damp weather the glue joint rises and you can then feel a little ridge between each piece. It makes the whole top feel not as smooth as I like them to feel.
The types of wood from the center are: ASH, Hackberry, Satinwood, Zebrawood, Narra, Canarywood, Brazilwood, Bloodwood, Purpleheart, Kingwood, Honduras Rosewood, Brazilian Rosewood, Monkey Pod Wood, East India Rosewood, Wenge and Oak.
The scenery is wonderful, and we saw only a small part of the lake.
