Here's a [stunning table made from a wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no1-common) only found in Southeast Australia. The Box Table by Martin Davis is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. It is made from hand-selected Jarrah wood, with finger joints made of Victorian ash. The complementary colors of the wood provide a striking contrast to each other; each wood highlights the others' beauty.

**Implications** - The Jarrah wood is extremely hard, so you wouldn't have to worry about it breaking easily. Both the wood and the finger joints were [reclaimed from old objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodcarving-heritage) to create this fantastic table. The table looks as if it were "stitched" together, adding a [unique and tasteful design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-table). The table would look great in any area of the home.
