000.003 Box Elder (Field Maple) Live edge coffee table with cross legs

The Box Elder (Field Maple) Live Edge Coffee Table with cross legs is a beautifully crafted piece that combines two distinct types of wood, showcasing both functionality and natural elegance. Here’s a breakdown of the key features:

Materials:

1. Live Edge Top:

   • Wood Type: Box Elder (Field Maple)
   • Characteristics: Box Elder is known for its unique grain patterns and light colour, often featuring streaks of reddish or pink hues, adding visual interest and organic charm to the table. The "live edge" refers to the natural, untouched edge of the wood, which gives the piece a rustic and natural appearance, preserving the shape of the tree as much as possible.

2. Cross Legs:

   • Wood Type: Iroko
   • Characteristics: Iroko is a dense, durable hardwood from Africa, typically golden to medium brown in colour. It’s often used for its strength and stability, making it ideal for furniture legs. The cross-leg design adds modern architectural flair, providing both support and an aesthetically pleasing visual balance to the live edge top.

Design:

• Top: The table features a live edge design, retaining the natural, unprocessed edges of the wood for a more rustic and organic look. The smooth, polished surface contrasts beautifully with the rugged edges, giving the table both elegance and natural beauty.
• Legs: The cross legs made from Iroko add a touch of modernity with their sleek and geometric form, contrasting with the organic feel of the top. The cross structure is not only visually striking but also provides solid support to the table.

Dimensions & Finish:

• The size of the table can vary, but it generally has a broad, comfortable top for coffee, décor, or light entertaining. The finish is typically a smooth, glossy surface that highlights the natural grain and features of both woods while protecting them for longevity.

This combination of Box Elder and Iroko not only enhances the table's aesthetic appeal but also ensures it’s durable and functional. The mix of rustic charm and modern design elements makes it a statement piece in any living space.
