The “Mesa Fissures” cocktail table consists of a 5 1⁄2” thick solid slab of pecan, with a clear-coat finish. The natural fissures/cracks in the wood create an interesting “landscape” art composition on the table top, while 3⁄4” solid steel support legs are embedded into the table top. Each steel support leg, with a large fissure-type cut, has a special turquoise and rusted patina finish that gives a contemporary southwest motif to the entire table. The 3⁄4” glass top is cut to conform to the shape of the table top. This piece of wood was selected from the hillsides near Stroud, Oklahoma where the trees are large and the roots have significant girth.
