I assumed that in the same way that a High Priestess would be an exceptional or superior Priestess, High Elm must be some rare and exotic type of elm, difficult to acquire and exceptionally beautiful. Maybe only grown in the grounds of the Queen’s properties or something.
Nope. What they meant was a table made of normal elm, but higher than a normal dining table so you could sit at it on stools rather than on chairs.
Still, even if it’s not made of the legendary High Elm, it’s still a beautiful table. Produced for a customer in Kilmarnock, it is simple and minimal – as with most of our work it’s the beauty of the wood itself which makes the furniture so unique, and it’s the job of the craftsmen in the workshops to bring that out. So here we are – a lovely handmade circular elm dining table for four.
