A few years ago, there was a devastating forest fire that ripped through the Black Forest; it burned a lot of homes in the area and left the landscaped scared.  There are dead-standing trees throughout the area.  This table was built from one of those dead trees that were slabbed up after the fire for a client who lives in the area.   We have made several pieces from this tree.  I built an entry table for this piece and used the live edge pine for the top and Wenge for the bottom.

It is a traditional Trunk table style, which I sized to fit the entryway of my client's home. The main joinery holding the table together is a wedge driven through a tusk tenon.

The light-colored pine makes a beautiful contrast to the rich, dark reddish-brown of the wenge.
