Built around a pair of hand-worked, pierced fin legs that carry the top like architecture. Sculptural from every angle, the legs are the structural story — a muted, architectural interpretation of art deco heritage, with the grandeur restrained and the craftsmanship left visible. The top rests cleanly on them.

Each top is built from a two-ply solid wood veneer — a construction choice made as much for sustainability as for craftsmanship. Only a thin layer of real hardwood is needed to capture the same rich grain character found in natural wood planks, conserving precious hardwood resources with every table we build. The core beneath is crafted from reclaimed material left over from the milling process, material that would otherwise go to waste. That engineered core also gives the top a stability solid wood can't match on its own, resisting the cupping, warping, and cracking that comes with seasonal humidity swings. The visible surface is then expertly finished for resistance to everyday stains and wear, so it holds up beautifully even after decades of dining.

Sized for six or eight diners. Sits comfortably with Canyon or Alma dining chairs; the darker tone makes it an especially strong pairing with warmer, lighter upholstery — Oat Bouclé, Flax Linen, cognac velvet.

The Highland Dining Table is built around a pair of hand-worked, pierced fin legs that carry the top like architecture. Offered in three finishes.

Pierced Fin Legs
• Hand-worked and pierced, sculptural from every angle — the legs are the structural story, and the piece's primary design gesture.
• A muted, architectural interpretation of art deco heritage: the grandeur restrained, the geometry quieted, the craftsmanship left visible.
• Unmistakably distinct from the cylindrical-leg vocabulary that dominates most dark-wood tables on the market.
• The piercing is decorative, but the fins themselves are solid American walnut or white oak veneer over a load-bearing engineered core — the same structural integrity as a conventional pedestal base.
• Pedestal-like geometry means no leg interference for the middle seats.

White Oak
• The lighter, more luminous finish. Pale, straight-grained white oak lets the room's other material moments — chairs, credenza, art — lead.
• Ideal for Scandinavian-inspired, coastal, or modern dining rooms that want a light, soft dimension.

Walnut
• The warmer, more grounded finish. Deep chocolate and amber undertones give the table substantial visual weight, suited to layered, Fall-forward dining rooms.

Espresso Oak
• A rich espresso-brown stain over hand-wire-brushed white oak, with deep, dark brown graining that opens the wood's natural texture.
• The darkest tone in the Denver Modern line — depth without going to a full black stain or ebonized finish.
• The hand-done wirebrushing adds organic texture, giving the darker shade significant dimension.
• Dark wood grounds a space more efficiently than added upholstery or accessories.

Top Construction
• Each top is built from a two-ply solid wood veneer — a thick-cut or sawn veneer, typically 1/16" to 1/8" thick, versus the 1/40" of a standard rotary-cut veneer.
• The surface layer behaves like solid wood to the touch, sands and refinishes multiple times, and shows the grain depth and figure of a full slab.
• The core beneath is crafted from reclaimed material left over from the milling process — material that would otherwise go to waste.
• That engineered core gives the top a stability solid wood can't match on its own, resisting the cupping, warping, and cracking that comes with seasonal humidity swings.
• The construction uses a fraction of the old-growth hardwood a solid slab would require. The same construction used in gallery-grade case goods and high-end architectural millwork.
• The visible surface is expertly finished for resistance to everyday stains and wear, so it holds up beautifully even after decades of dining.

Sits comfortably with Canyon or Alma dining chairs. The darker tone makes it an especially strong pairing with warmer, lighter upholstery — Oat Bouclé, Flax Linen, cognac velvet.

Product Care
White Oak, Walnut, and Espresso Oak
• Dust regularly with a dry microfiber cloth, following the direction of the wood grain.
• Wipe spills with a damp cloth and follow up with a soft, dry cloth, again working with the grain.
• The surface is coated with a durable finish ready for years of daily use — it resists common stains and everyday wear.
• Use trivets under hot dishes and coasters under wet glasses. A sealed finish handles incidental contact, but standing heat and moisture shorten its life.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based cleaners, silicone sprays, and abrasive materials.
• Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Espresso Oak shows UV change more readily than natural White Oak.

Wire-Brushed Espresso Oak
• The brushing is a texture, not open grain. It's sealed with the espresso finish, wipes clean, and needs no more maintenance than a smooth-finished table.
• A dry soft-bristle brush lifts anything that settles into the deeper grain.

Pierced Fin Legs
• Dust the pierced openings with a dry soft-bristle brush or a vacuum brush attachment; the piercings collect dust more readily than a flat leg.
• Wipe with a barely damp cloth if needed, then dry promptly — don't let moisture stand in the pierced detail.
• Avoid abrasive pads and solvents on the fins.
• Do not use the fins as a footrest or press against the pierced sections; they are engineered as a structural base, not a bearing surface for point loads.

Refinishing
• The two-ply thick-cut veneer will accept refinishing, so the top can be sanded and brought back multiple times over the life of the table.
• A stained finish can be lightened later if palette preferences shift — the piece is designed to be refinished rather than replaced.

Placement and Moving
• Avoid placing the table over an active heat vent or against a radiator, which dries the wood unevenly.
• Use felt pads under the legs on hard flooring.
• Lift rather than drag, and never move the table by the top alone. Support from the fin bases when lifting, not from an individual pierced section.
