This table is made from vintage automotive steel topped by a thick burl of American Black Walnut. The base legs are leaf-springs from an (unknown) 1980's truck which have been wire-brushed down to effect a smooth finish on a thick crust of oxidation ; the base is steel-plate from the renovation of the Whitestone bridge. The metal is finished with a linseed-oil extract that adds luster and fixes its naturally deep patina.

The top is a thick Walnut burl finished by a quadruple cycle of sanding and polyurethane to best reveal its grains and to effect an organic smoothness
