Rough-Hewn
From the Robert E. Howard Lexicon

DEC/11/16
“They sat him down at a rough-hewn table, and a servant brought wine.”
-Two against Tyre
Possibly built on his unusual use of hew and hewn in describing action and its aftermath, Howard employed this action-oriented, compound idiom to imbue even the interior of a shelter with a rough sense of the dynamic.
rough-hewn
adj
1. (Building) cut or hewn roughly, with an unfinished surface
2. shaped roughly or crudely
