the root of the matter

I can’t help it. I love reclaimed wood, especially when the wood’s previous life is left exposed to tell its unique story. So when I saw the Chista tables from Teak tree bases and roots, I got weak in my knees.

Tree bases can be so irregular that they are difficult to make useful lumber. However, these beautiful teak tables embrace the irregularity. It makes each one a specific piece of art.

These stunning tables below are made from teak tree roots, making useful furniture from material that is typically unused.
