18 July 2015 / Posted in: Railway Sleeper News

A really original and unique industrial style table using dramatically weathered Jarah railway sleepers to support a one-off cast concrete table top.

A very impressive creation that combines and contrasts the rough, beaten finish of the reclaimed railway sleepers and rough edges of the cast concrete, with the polished concrete table top.

Graham sent us impressive pictures of his new railway sleeper wall, and generously added these crumbs of comfort:

Bullets in Railway Sleepers NOT dangerous!

There is an urban myth that states that it's dangerous to cut European railway sleepers because they have bullets embeddied in them.
