Arapaho Canoe Inspired Coffee Table Historical Origin And Design Inspiration

When designing the Arapaho canoe inspired coffee table, H.J. Nick was inspired by an original Arapaho American Indian Tribe canoe built in the 1700's. The solid timber cocktail table base is built from old growth cedar that is hundreds of years old. Each piece of timber is hand selected by H.J. Nick himself. Chosen for its unique natural imperfections, graining, and age among other natural wood attributes.

Each piece is hand joined and cross grained, hand hewn, mortise and tenon joined and doweled to construct a stable table base that will never warp, bow or twist when it re moisturizes at any altitude or climate condition. This table base comes with mar proof levelers and can be leveled to any floor. This custom coffee table is hand carved to shape from thick natural air dried exotic cedar solid timber by our master carvers. All design carving is a solid part of the main structure. We do not use glued on design pieces, veneers or fake materials. Design carving appears on all sides allowing all of our furnishings to be used in the middle of the room as well as against a wall.
