All of these shapely elements on the base are hand carved.  Solid poplar base is hand shaped with a scalloped apron and hand carved bead; Aprons are gently slanted outward and curved so that the transition into the leg is graceful and fluid.

Top is reclaimed Oregon barnwood that has been given a nice medium warm tobacco finish.

Here is another view of this barn wood.  The antique texture and color will have to be replicated over the edges which have been shaped with a router, therefore stripping off the rustic surface and getting down to "new" wood.  The top will have to be cleaned, smoothed, hardened and colored without losing the rustic qualities of the original wood.
