pilots on one wheel with steel angle tiller. Land it in front of the widescreen for a meal watching Breaking Bad. Beside the desk to hold a cup of afternoon coffee. An unusual, super serviceable beauty.

*****
plenty big without taking up a lot of real estate. Like a chunk of wooden anvil to gently set your cup against
open span beam geometry from the ancient old growth Pacific Northwest forest, with wheel and hairpin legs
MATERIALS
old growth Douglas fir finished with locally produced tung oil and beeswax
recycled content steel hairpin legs preserved with clear matte enamel
VARIABILITY
each table is built to order and is slightly different, but all are old growth Douglas fir salvaged from industrial and agrarian warehouses and barns in Tacoma, Seattle and the Puget Sound environs
BIRDLOFT ETHOS OF GREEN
All birdloft reclaimed materials are sustainably harvested in a big-hearted, biodiesel-breathing compact pickup truck. The biodiesel is 100 percent recycled, just one aspect of birdloft's ongoing efforts to be awesome. More trumpeting can be had at http://www.birdloft.com/ethos.php
WHY FOREST KOAN
- a forest from before anyone living was born, that no longer exists, still breathes in this hundred-year-old industrial artifact.
- some liminal connection to the grains of dirt we come from.
- able to hold its form unendingly while channeling thousands of pounds of compressive forces to the ground, i.e., holds up the cityscape one warehouse at a time.
- last, won't slip away when you put your feet up to rest against it.
CRAFT
birdloft prides itself on its exceptional craft. Every piece is made with meticulous attention to detail and knowledge of how wood moves and breathes.
