This is the Aspen Tree, the tree that the daybed is constructed of, standing died dry, this is a very nice wood to work with, full of colors with elk rubs or teeth marks from animals of the wild.
The elk rub the felt off of their horns or a animal may eat the bark for food as needed.

TABLE HERTE
"The daybed is one of the most distinctive pieces in the house. Custom-made for this space, it’s constructed entirely of Aspen wood branches smoothed and lightly glazed, but still retaining enough of their original rough form to remind you of a soaring tree. The effect is a stunning piece of furniture that appears to have been made entirely from the local woodpile".
