Urchin' #1 Coffee Table
This wonderfully odd table was designed around the beautiful Buckeye burl slab top. The unusual gray coloring is caused by a fungus that invaded the wood and caused spalting. There are several prominent voids that penetrate through the top forcing the mound under the top to wrap around in a 'U' shape. The interior of this shape is lined with over one hundred rosewood spikes that are roughly half the diameter of the outer mahogany spikes. For the most part these spikes can only be seen through the voids in the top. There are approximately 175 outer spikes, each with a custom lacquer finish. Materials: Buckeye burl, Oak, Rosewood, Mahogany

For Shelving/built-ins5.0Robert has been wonderful to work with. He delivered a beautiful product that exactly fit our ideas of what we wanted. He was precisely on time with the completion of the project and kept us up to date with photos throughout the process. I really hope that we get a chance to work together again!!
