Bookend Harvest Table

A disease took many elm trees in our area years prior to our moving to the country.  Though we didn`t know what we had, it was a bit easier to sacrifice this tree, already half dead, as part of a construction project.

We couldn't believe our eyes.  The log had a vibrant red tone and gorgeous grain pattern!

No longer red... but we are told this is just "oxidization", and the colour should return with sanding and a good quality oil.

The two bookends are joined by 6 dominos on one end and one domino at the other end.  The joined sides are sanded to accept epoxy.  Click for more info.
