“Empire” Coffee Table
A stunning fusion of rustic and modern elements, made from burned pine wood and striking resin that is symbolic of the Empire state building in NY Which is a nod to where I was born. The table's rectangular top is crafted from pine wood that has been burned to create a unique and rustic finish. The wood's deep, rich color and texture lend a sense of warmth and character to the piece.

Yakisugi (Wood Burning)
One of the benefits of burning pine wood is that it can help to increase the durability and longevity of the table top. The heat of the flame can help to seal the wood, making it more resistant to moisture, pests, and other environmental factors that can damage the wood over time.
