When a tree's trunk divides into two branches, the wood where they meet has a highly distorted figure, known to woodworkers as "crotch" – an inelegant name for some spectacular wood. This custom conference table's top consists of mahogany crotch with a center panel of bubinga. There are two Mockett PCS-3 units under custom hatches - note how the wood figure continues across the lids. Crotch veneers are expensive and tricky to work with, but the results speak for themselves.
