Notice the marbled character of this rustic mesquite wood coffee table.  The wooden top sanded is smooth and lightly lacquered to accentuate the deep marbled grain pattern. By adding turquoise compound to the imperfections in the surface flaws are transformed to facets of beauty. A hand forged iron ring trestle supports the massive mesquite planking. Turquoise slowly forms over millions of years in shallow veins when copper reacts with aluminum.  Due to its delicate nature, turquoise must be gently hand mined then slowly polished to an aquamarine hue.  So to each individual Santa Fe coffee table is tenderly coaxed from rough wood and raw iron into a masterpiece of millennial beauty.
