The cocobolo wraps around the table in a continuous box, its warm reds and oranges punctuated by a single bold streak of white grain that runs across the drawer fronts — nature's own detail, too good not to feature. The drawer fronts are cut from the same slab, so the grain flows uninterrupted from one to the next. Finished with a water-based poly, the color practically jumps off the wood. The turned legs were refinished to match, grounding the piece without competing with it.
The slab was cut into 45-degree segments and folded into a wraparound box — the same waterfall technique that lets the grain travel around corners as though the wood were never cut at all. Enough material remained from the slab to yield matching drawer fronts, keeping the whole piece visually consistent. The cabinet and legs came separately and were refinished to complement the cocobolo rather than clash with it. The result was striking — but if we're being honest, the only thing that really mattered was that she liked it.
