Description
Sculptural, contemporary vibes are the focal point of this dining table. Contrasting materials stand out against one another for a complementary touch. It's made with round metal legs and a sinker cypress top for some mixed material flair. The legs are designed with 3” round single tube steel, providing a modern take on table legs. The round style provides a subtle design advantage, maintaining clean lines that complement the tabletop's tight, vibrant grain colors.
The sinker cypress top was salvaged from the Tchefuncte Louisiana bayou, where it sank in the 1800’s during the Industrial Timber Harvest. The unique color variation and tight growth rings (18-35 growth rings per inch) can only be found in old growth cypress, reclaimed from the waters of the Southeastern United States. Once harvested, the wood is then milled, kiln-dried, and artisan-crafted in a fundamental industrial modern design. Constructed from high-quality steel, these legs can support a load of up to 220 lbs. per leg. Not only are the table legs are strong; they’re also adjustable up to an additional 1-1/8″. Pulled from the Louisiana bayous and built locally using sustainably sourced and reclaimed sinker cypress, each top features a stunning smooth, modern finish. With its practical and modern design, the Tchefuncte Table is not only functional, but also a work of art with history rooted in Louisiana that is both modern and timeless.
Why Sinker Cypress?
In Louisiana and the Southeastern United States, cypress logs were axe-cut in the 1800’s from virgin cypress forests. They were then transported to various destinations across the country. On their journey many were lost and submerged underwater, where they acquired vibrant colors from the surrounding environment. Hence the name “Sinker Cypress.” The ultimate color of each log varies depending on pH, silt content, water movement, salinity, length of time under water, and type of environment the tree originated. Their tight grain from slow growth is unlike any other lumber in today’s growing forests.
Our Process
Once pulled from the bayous, milled, and kiln-dried locally to 10-12% moisture content, each slab is meticulously selected to be transformed into a functional work of art. By planing, sanding, and cutting the wood, our team of craftsmen are able to create exquisite tables, rich with a piece of Louisiana history.

Notes
This is natural wood and finished with a clear, matte coating. It provides a protective layer that makes the table scratch resistant and easy to clean. Each piece is uniquely created and one of a kind. Cypress retains moisture in pockets, which can cause the wood to crack and split. Unlike other companies, Southern Wood uses a state-of-the-art vacuum kiln to dry wood and prevent this from happening. Every slab is kiln dried to 10-12% moisture content in our iDry vacuum kiln. As raw wood is used in its natural form, the table shown in the picture will slightly vary from the one purchased. Each table has its own distinct color variations and characteristics. Woods of the same species may vary in color, grain pattern, and texture. All wood slabs are typically cut at 2 ⅛” and finish out between 1 ½” to 1 ⅝”. Natural wood may display small splits, knots, or other organic features unique to each piece. This is a real wood table, and it will react to water, humidity, and heat as well. All pictured tables are finished with a matte sheen, although additional sheens are available.
Production Time- 4-6 weeks
