This coffee table resists easy reading — one end abruptly angular, the other organically raw, its thickness shifting from pencil-thin to substantial along the way. Every angle offers a different silhouette, a sense of movement frozen in wood. And yet for all that dynamism, it doesn't budge an inch. Put your feet up. It's made for exactly that.
This coffee table began as a throwaway — an end piece left over from slabbing a cedar trunk, used only to protect the good lumber stacked below it. But the moment it was spotted, the table inside it was obvious: that tactile secret of the trunk's surface, invisible from above but right there beneath your fingertips. The top was flattened, two walnut slabs notched in to anchor it, and then came the one decisive moment — a single cut with a Japanese saw that gave the angular end its final profile.
