The story
A Pattern That Grows Over Centuries
A burl is a growth on the trunk of an oak in which the fibers twist in every direction. The oaks that grow such burls live for centuries, and no two burls are ever alike.
This burl was dried slowly and carefully. The most intact, most beautiful cut became the tabletop: a live edge, a natural shape, and the cracks the wood opened as it dried filled with resin, so they became part of the pattern rather than a flaw.
The base is oak as well. The table stands as a showroom piece in the office at 5 Moskovskaya St., where you can see it in person.

About the species
Burl a growth on a trunk or root
A burl is a growth on a tree's trunk or root in which the fibers twist in every direction. It gives the most complex figure wood can have, and it cannot be grown on purpose: every burl is an accident decades in the making.
About the species
Oak Quercus
Oak is the benchmark of strength. Bog oak, which has lain for a long time in wet soil or water, darkens and develops graphite, almost black streaks — a material that cannot be imitated artificially.
