For a dining table, Gallis found a 340-year-old juniper stump out on the plains around Cody and wrestled it into the back of his truck.
To turn it into a base for a dining table, Gallis spent painstaking hours grinding and sanding every surface until the roots gleamed like
pulled taffy. For a top, he built a huge disk out of walnut and
chiseled light-reflecting facets into the edge. The last touch was a rim of short branches around the table's circumference, each one sanded and
polished by hand. "We sign each piece, and I just don't want to sign something that I'm not proud of," John says.
