The little swirling eyes are a growth defect in the sugar maple, the cause of them is still not settled, and there is no way of knowing a tree has it until the tree is already down, which is why it became the prestige veneer of the deco years and why it comes back every time deco does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hall table is a harder thing to build than it looks. It has to be long, it has to be shallow enough to walk past, and it has to not move when somebody drops keys on one end of it. This one carries 140 centimetres on two swept supports instead of four legs, which is the choice that makes it look light and the same choice that makes it difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is not spread evenly, and that is the decision worth noticing. Bird's-eye is scarce and it comes in whatever width the log allows, so here it is laid as a border framing a black lacquered field, and the two big sweeping supports underneath are plain. The eyes sit along the one surface anybody stands over and looks down at. Everything else is kept quiet, which is how you spend a timber you cannot order more of.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KILL OR BE KILLED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67611398897777,"sku":"KOBK.26.FUR.039","price":750.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/5800\/9201\/files\/Birdseye_Console_Hero_evened_v2.jpg?v=1791097478","url":"https:\/\/kobk.online\/products\/art-deco-revival-hall-table-birds-eye-maple-late-20th-century","provider":"KILL OR BE KILLED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
