EQUUS #007 — Oak Coffee Table with a Found Horseshoe

I created EQUUS #007 in my WOLF FORGE workshop as a one-of-a-kind, numbered coffee table in the Second Life series. The project began with an old horseshoe found several years earlier on former farmland near Młoteczno, close to Braniewo in Poland. I designed the table around this found object.

I set the horseshoe almost flush with a solid oak tabletop approximately 40 mm thick. The grain, natural cracks and irregular edge remain part of the design. Black epoxy resin fills the largest crack and visually connects the oak with the black steel base.

I burned the horse portrait and the ornament inspired by grasses, cereals and field plants directly into the wood by hand, using pyrography. In selected areas, the ornament continues over the edge of the tabletop. The geometric base is handcrafted from 50 × 50 × 3 mm steel sections.

An NFC tag beside the WOLF FORGE paw logo connects the physical piece with its digital story.

Dimensions: 82 × approximately 47 × 44.5 cm. Materials: solid oak, steel, an authentic found horseshoe and black epoxy resin. Handmade in Poland as a single numbered piece.

Design and craftsmanship: Piotr Waszkiewicz / WOLF FORGE.
