Chama Desk Natural Edge Maple Slab And Steel
The Chama Desk is made from natural-edge maple slabs, rescued from a pulp mill yard, with hand-cut black walnut butterfly joints, and natural edges on both sides. The simple base is 2"x1" welded steel in a gunmetal finish and industrial strength matte clear powdercoat. This is a very minimal, zen desk that can double as a small dining table for homes or offices where workspace is limited. The non-toxic, health-counscious finish is resistant to wine, beer, cola, coffee, tea, fruit juices, milk and water etc. according to German Industrial DIN 68861 - 1C and complies EURO-NORM EN 71 (suitable for children's toys). This finish makes product care simple and easy. In most cases all that's needed is an occasional wipe-down with a soft cloth dampened with water. A detailed finish description is available on request. The desk measures approximately 60"L x 36"W x 30"H, but can be customized to suit your needs.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I specialize in reclaimed materials, healthy and environmentally friendly finishes, and run a full custom furniture shop and retail store in Oregon. I am a strong advocate of recycling in its many forms, and am proud to offer historic lumber products a second life as a work of art or furniture. I am involved with the materials I use from the very beginning, whether it be architectural salvage, or rescuing logs from pulp yards and milling them into raw lumber. From selection and processing to finished product and shipping, I am involved every step of the way. I appreciate both the process and the benefits of using salvaged materials and historical lumber to design and fabricate second-life products, while minimizing or negating resource consumption.
I can work with you from the earliest stages of design, through fabrication and delivery. Due to the age, color, grain, and source of my materials, each piece is unique and one of a kind, and is therefore customizable to the smallest detail. I pride myself in offering sustainable, responsible, and healthful solutions for your design needs.
