If you’ve ever been to the store and seen our big work desk, you might have noticed some beautiful traditional key joints at the end of the table. Those wooden joints are made from my favorite exotic wood – wenge.

A lot of the mid century Danish wood workers like Jens Quistgaard made some beautiful objects using wenge, this specific piece Quistgaard designed by Danish company Kronjyden. The tray doesn’t necessarily have the same finesse as the wenge pieces he did for Dansk later, but the price was right and the grain was beautiful.
