I have always liked the pairing of warm, live-edge hardwoods with the clean, modern lines of steel table legs.

I found these boards while repairing a set of barn doors in Chesapeake, VA. They were buried below several decades of debris but revealed their beauty after a few passes with the hand plane. I knew immediately that the boards were worthy of a dining room table.

At first I was unsure of the species, but after a stop at the local lumber yard they determined it was Brazilian Cherry (also known as Jatoba). Accent/structural bow ties are made from Argentinian Osage Orange wood.

The table is 90L x 42W x 30.5H
