Reclaimed Beam Table

This beautifully weathered piece of elmwood is actually a portion of a support beam that once bolstered a Qing-dynasty building. A beautiful cross-section showcases the timber's growth rings, and a century of weathering has cloaked the wood's raw texture in a rich patina, accentuating deep grooves along the table's sides. Once purely functional, the beam takes on new life re-imagined as a sculptural side table or stool.
