This desk is made from an exotic tropical species called Chechen. This wood is extraordinarily hard, which made for many challenges when making this piece. The width of the table is obtained from merging the best parts of two different slabs of wood. The color of this desk is a stunning orange, a color rarely found in wood. There is some unique figuring in the front corner of the slab that is unlike anything I’ve seen before (visible in the eighth picture). The base is a simple black rectangular steel design that enhances the top.
