The rectangular top, crisply framed in young birch, sets the tone—clean, pale, understated—while the base erupts in a controlled flare of twigs radiating from a central spine. And then comes the twist: every cut end painted a bright barn red, now beautifully faded to a soft, weathered wink. It’s the detail that shifts the piece from cabin-cute to genuinely compelling, a reminder that early mountain makers often understood graphic impact long before we called it that.
