Sapling table

This table celebrates the quiet complexity of wood and the patience of the hand that shapes it. The legs are formed using bent lamination, each composed of eight tapered strips of walnut veneer carefully bent and layered into an organic, branch-like curve. This process creates strength through structure while allowing the form to feel light, fluid, and alive.

Emerging from each leg are delicately shaped leaves, themselves bent and joined with scarf joints for continuity and grace. Crafted from birch and hickory, the leaves offer subtle shifts in color and tone that catch and play with the light, adding movement as the piece is viewed from different angles.

Balancing this organic base is a simple geometric top made from ambrosia maple. Its clean lines and quiet figure echo the natural palette of the legs while intentionally stepping back, allowing the intricate branch forms below to remain the focal point. The result is a piece that feels grounded yet expressive—where structure and beauty exist in careful harmony.
