Wenge/Walnut Entry Table
Wenge is a bit like a James Bond girl: exotic, beautiful…and deadly. Several dozen splinters peppered my hands while making this piece, but it's hard to find fault with the result. The lighter stripes in the wenge echo the rich browns of the figured walnut top when seen from very close, and blend with the black stripes to make a dark chocolate brown from further away. Built with the usual strong mortise and tenon and hand cut dovetail joinery. The drawer sides provide a pleasant surprise in English brown oak rather than the expected maple.

Design that fits you to a "T", sensitive use of lovely wood, techniques that stand the test of time, touchable surfaces and layers of detail--I strive to bring these together with your needs and wishes, wrapping it all in an enjoyable process and a trail of photos.
