Rustic Live Edge Redwood Coffee Table

The spring of 2021, a friend asked if I would mind removing a 250-pound round from his property. His goal of making something out of it after cutting down a 135-foot cedar earlier in the year just wasn't meant to be. Of course, I took this beautiful raw monster off his hands!   
 
As you might expect, the act of taking cut wood from the foothills of the western Sierra Nevada to the hot and arid climate of Reno, Nevada proved almost catastrophic for the material.  The big 'bowtie joints' quickly came into focus and the rest, as they say, is history.  
 
The surface of the table is different than many other table tops you've probably encountered. I've created a 'distressed yet baby-butt smooth' surface to give character and depth to the material while providing a sturdy flat 100% functional plane.  
 
One of A Kind
While I have made, and will continue to make similar tables, this piece is completely unique and will not be reproduced. The legs of this piece are hand fabricated from salvaged steel and copper. These were a thrill to create and the addition of the copper rivets, in my humble opinion, simply adds so much character to the final performance.  I had the table top in my shop for months before coming up with this leg design. I sure hope you appreciate this piece in your home or office.  
 
The wood finish is 100% oil-based lacquer for the strongest finish possible. A final coat of premium carnauba wax to provide a tough water barrier.
