Burgess Table 3

2026

materials: 140 yr old barn wood, fabricated steel, epoxy

dimensions: 36” x 20” x 20”

The wood in this table is from the original Burgess family homestead, ca. 1884, and believed to be from one of the barns on the property.  The wood remained on site as functioning barn doors until just recently.  Worn down over 140 years of sun and use, they are now preserved in layers of epoxy in this table-top.

Copy of original property deed, dated 1884 and signed by US President Chester A. Arthur and Perry Burgess

Special thanks to Torey and Willis Wodnik, owner/operators of Colorado Event Rentals, who had the foresight to hang on to the wood and documents and the generosity to let me use them in these one-of-a-kind pieces
