Ode to Elm

Coffee Table: 50 tall x 460 long x 100 cm wide
Elm, Black Walnut legs, and inlay
2001

This was the first piece of furniture I built while at Selkirk College in their Fine Woodworking Program. It is made from a healthy elm tree that had been cut down in front of my home in Revelstoke, British Columbia. Although no replacement for a live, beautiful tree, this souvenir can be enjoyed as beautifully grained wood.  Black walnut on the legs, the bottom of the rails, the knob, and the inlay accents the grain of the elm.
