About this Product
The Pontiac side table is a classic mid century inspired bedside table with some lovely bent ply curves. This versatile end table is right at home beside the bed, next to the couch, or between a couple of comfy lounge chairs. It has an ample surface up top to rest your phone or cocktail along side a lamp to light your late night reading. Inside, the bent plywood cradles a healthy stack of magazines and books.
Each one is handmade in my Leonard, MI studio. I start out with 13 layers of real wood that I glue, layer, mold, trim, sand and finish by hand, to-order so each one is impeccably made and completely unique. Supporting the plywood table top are 4 solid wood tapered legs which attach with angled metal brackets. The satin, non-toxic, all natural oil finish creates a rich, natural look that’s durable and is water- and stain-resistant without requiring frequent re-application. It’s applied by hand to ensure complete coverage, optimal thickness and a hand-rubbed lustre that holds for many years to come.

Each table is handmade from natural materials, so there will be some variation in color and wood grain.
Ciseal
Meet the Maker
Ciseal was inspired by the Midcentury Modern architecture and design that’s so prevalent in and around Detroit. The thoughtful, functional blend of nature and the modern, clean lines of these buildings influenced me to create my own designs using the natural material and modern method of woodlayering.
Ciseal began in 2013 with a few layers of wood veneer, a bottle of wood glue, a handmade mold and some clamps. Those ingredients made my very first product - the Ray iPad Stand (and I still use that original mold!). Ciseal has been growing steadily ever since - supporting my design habit one woodlayered product at a time.
I proudly design and make all of my products to-order and by hand in my Troy, Michigan studio. After searching high and low for the best, strongest, most flexible wood to make my products, I found it in my own backyard. My wood layers are sustainably-sourced from responsibly-harvested maple tree forests in the upper midwest. Each Ciseal product is still inspired by my neighborhood and thoughtfully vetted through countless hours of research, design, and crafting. The finished products I offer are the result of many iterations and fine tuning for comfort, usability, and style. The quality of my products is in the details: the intentional curves, the hand-layered, sustainable wood veneer, and the ease of use.
Ciseal is an Irish Gaelic word for layer. It's pronounced KISH-ill by the Irish, but I've taken to pronouncing it sis-EEL
Woodlayering is my craft, but as a person, I'm always learning, growing, and evolving. Ciseal is about how we layer the trappings of life in a way that uniquely speaks to our soul. It’s a way of life, a mindset that focuses our attention on finding and embracing all of the layers that matter so that we are free to take our pleasure seriously.
