These tables are made from ambrosia maple, a local hardwood that often has stunning figure. This pair of tables are made from a single giant slab. Ambrosia is a type of wood figuring that you can see in these pieces, they are the long oblong blobs with black dots in the middle. Ambrosia is caused by bugs burrowing through the wood, and leaving a fungus behind it that stains the wood as it grows. The figure in this wood creates a truly unique pair of tables.
