It has a thick coat of polyurethane to keep the bark intact, and has rubber grippers on the legs for stability and to protect floors. The table is 46″ x 17″ on the sides, 1″ thick, and 17″ tall. The legs are 1.5″ wide and about 1/4″ thick.

Bald Cypress Coffee Table

Bald Cyprus wood – a uniquely shaped tree that is rarely cut in this way. This was a really unique piece of wood that made the journey to Ohio from somewhere down south, probably from a swampy or marshy area. This specific cut is made near the bottom of the trunk after the tree has been feld. The table top is coated with a layer of tongue oil followed by a thick coat of liquid glass epoxy. This makes sure the wood is protected and sealed, with a thick, durable, shinny coat that will last forever. Three industrial style hairpin legs that stabilize the table without wobble or fear of tipping over from putting things on the table.The underside is coated in polyurethane to completely seal the wood. This item is ok to leave outside and will not absorb moisture. The poly seal also assures there will be no particles falling from the wood on your living room floor.
