White Oak Poker Table
Designed as a poker table, this reclaimed white oak and purple heart table boast a story and some weight. The white oak for the top and legs originated from within the timberframing of a barn in the midwest. Cut down and hand hewn a century ago, this wood has had some time to harden and crack. Purpleheart keys and 11 ounces of crushed turquoise were used to fill such cracks. The border is a laminated purpleheart frame with exposed lap joints at the corners. A traditional trestle table leg assembly keeps this design rooted in history while the osage orange pins lock the base together suggesting age and sensibility.
