Carved directly from a monumental slab of redwood burl, this table captures a rare kind of natural drama — a living sculpture, now perfectly still. The surface glows with deep, resinous tones that shift from copper to mahogany, edged in a jagged organic contour that feels both primitive and deliberate. The void at its center — a remnant of age, not absence — anchors the form in quiet balance.

Each fissure, each uneven edge, reads like handwriting from the tree’s past. The tapered legs, likely mid-century replacements, lend lift and restraint — the dialogue between wild nature and human design.
