Like its namesake, this casual, contemporary dining group is big, bold and natural. The rustic beauty of Big Sur lies in its solid European white oak with naturally occurring splits, cracks and knots (see additional photos). Its intricate, narrow grain is produced by a colder climate, making each piece unique. Supporting the table are four hefty legs, each crafted of a single piece of heartwood, exposing the tree&#39;s inner rings. Subtle tones are achieved by &quot;fuming,&quot; a technique which reacts with the wood&#39;s natural tannins to alter the color without stain.&lt;br />&lt;br />&lt;NEWTAG/>&lt;ul>&lt;li>Solid white oak&lt;/li>&lt;li>Wood pegging detail on top&lt;/li>&lt;li>Each leg crafted of heartwood and kiln-dried for stability&lt;/li>&lt;li>Seats up to eight&lt;/li>&lt;li>Polishe
