Elm Wood Pedestal

Description

Object Story
Some pieces are about the wood itself. This pedestal is built from heavy blocks of elm stacked into a tall column, so the grain, cracks and end cuts are what you see first. It is simple, solid and made to sit in a room for a long time.

Worth Knowing
Solid elm block construction. Size: L 12 x W 12 x H 32 inches.

Live With It
Set a trailing plant or a large vase on top beside a sofa, use it as a side table next to a reading chair, or place a pair at either end of a console. It also works as a display stand for a sculpture or a single pot.

Character Marks
End grain checks, small splits and uneven block edges are natural to elm and to this kind of construction. No two pedestals look the same.
