Cool idea, but as you said why? I wonder if the type of wood is important, like would a piece of pine stay together?

I would agree; I'll bet the type of wood is very important, although I think that the technique can be done with a decent variety of wood.

This is also called "expanded wood" or "expanded solid wood". Here's more: https://sethrolland.com/theme/expanded-wood/

The table is a bit rich for my blood, but these vases are interesting, and, while not cheap, they're not absurd at $120 each. Glass tube inside:

This bookend shows off the aesthetic nicely. Kinda ornate for my style, but I think it plays cleverly on the appearance of an open book with its pages leafed.

you have to have imagination, since I am a little lacking thanks, I love the table.
