Generously padded leather surrounds the fixed maple tray in the center to give you a comfortable place to either sit or kick your feet up.  This leather is hand burnished and instantly creates an heirloom feel to your families space.
Fixed maple tray in the center makes this piece both a functional ottoman and cocktail table.
Leather gimp and nail around the ottoman give designers a place to create a subtle antique effect or a bold accent with bright nails or contrasting gimp.
Steering wheel from 1949 Chevy truck inspired the shape of the legs connecting the base to the top.  We needed to make this solid for structure, but wanted to have the maple on the edges exposed like the chrome on the steering wheel.
Solid White Maple is finished in an Aniline dye similar to process used to tan leathers.  This gives you complete transparency of grain so you can see all details in this unique wood species.
