Tables crafted by local artists now adorn the restaurant in Hyatt Regency Lake Washington in Renton.

Water’s Table, located on the second floor of the hotel, added four hardwood tables carved by Corbin Wood Studios in Bonney Lake. The tables were sourced from a single salvaged American elm tree that once stood in Seattle and is estimated to be 90 years old and weighed more than 7,000 pounds.

“We are thrilled to feature four new live-edge tables in the private dining room of Water’s Table,” assistant director of marketing at Hyatt Regency Lake Washington Dana McKenzie said. “Beautifully handcrafted by local artisans at Corbin Wood Studios from an American elm tree sourced right here in Seattle, these tables bring a unique and meaningful touch that truly reflects our community.”

The hotel said that working with a local artisan and repurposing the tree honors both the region’s natural resources and its creative community. They said live-edge furniture, which refers to the unfinished, natural edge of the tree left on the furniture, minimizes waste and “celebrates the organic beauty of the wood.”

Corbin Wood Studios, which was founded in 2017 by brothers Josh and Kyle Corbin, create custom pieces using the live-edge technique.

“This project was special not just because of the incredible character of the wood, but because of the opportunity to preserve a piece of Seattle’s natural history in a space where people gather and connect,” Josh Corbin said. “Each table is one-of-a-kind, and we’re proud to know they’ll be part of meaningful moments at Water’s Table for years to come.”

The tables will be featured in the restaurant’s private dining space, which accommodates up to 24 guests and can be divided into two smaller rooms.

Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport opened in 2017 and includes 347 guest rooms and 60,000 square feet of meeting space. The hotel sits on the edge of Lake Washington and is near Gene Coulon Park.
