Pacific Crest Coffee Table

I was hired by Belinda to design and build a coffee table as a commemorative piece honoring her husband's completion of the Pacific Crest Trail. The 2,650 mile long trail starts at the border of Mexico and California and goes all the way to Canada. The trail traverses the greatest elevation changes of any trail in America and crosses through 6 out of the 7 ecozones that North America has to offer!

Truly a feat that deserves recognition!


Belinda wanted the table to be made of a wood native to California as well as have a natural, live-edge character in the spirit of George Nakashima. We started with finding the piece of Claro and from here I designed multiple bases. It took us about 3 or 4 iterations before we agreed on this design.




This was my first experience shipping a piece of furniture so I was relieved when I learned that it arrived safely and free of damage!
