Spalted Maple slab desk with trestle base.


Found this piece of spalted maple in Woodstock and hauled it back to the city.   It sat in our hallway for a few months, until found a use for it.   I went to look at a potential client's living room.   When I realized she wanted built-ins, I told her I didn't do that.  But she had had a beautiful Koa wood table, and some nice Asian pieces.   After talking awhile, I told her that I had a great piece of wood that would just fit under her window where her husband was working on a TV table.    She bought this as a birthday gift for him.
