Corvids, black, impish and clever appear in mythologies the world over:  in Aboriginal myths, stealing fire; in European tradition, a symbol of wisdom and prophecy; in Greece, a messenger of the Sun Gods; for many: a harbinger of danger. In our Northwest Native American lore, this mischievous trickster steals the sun.    May you find light in darkness

“It’s all about vine. For a number of ears, in the spring wondered how I might incorporate the squarish, pin wheeling flowers of the Vinca vine into a piece of furniture. One February, as the flowers were coming into bloom, amidst grease-stained drawings spread across the kitchen table, the vine-like detailing on legs and trim emerged."

In this long and narrow table, the legs split into mirror images and then branch into horizontal supports for drawers and ends. The crisp lines in the drawer fronts, pulls and top provide a counterpoint to the gentle curves of legs and frame. Shown here in cherry, the table can be ordered in species or dimensions of your choice, or perhaps will inspire you to request a new variation.
