ANY IDEAS?


I have seen quite a lot of these wooden constructions with embedded stones . Some have been used as gates and now seen 3 being used as tables, with a glass top. A lot of the stones have fallen out of the ones in the pictures, but I cant find out what the purpose is for the stones, and the curved sledge like shape. Any ideas? Its a really heavy object.


I have found the answer and I'll let you know what it is sometime

Where's your Iceland blog? You should do one. D
