Treehouse Table (Or Table X)
Small console table with three drawers. The compound curved and splayed legs are inset into the case piece with housed half lap joints. From the top, the legs appear to have grown up and through the case. The front legs define the shape of the three drawers. A single cherry board was used for the case and drawer fronts while another, darker cherry board was selected for the legs. The drawer pulls are hand carved ebony.

Meet the Maker
Joseph Murphy
Joseph Murphy Furniture Maker
I am an award-winning designer and maker of fine wood furniture. My furniture -- meticulously made by hand -- is inspired by my love of design that features clean lines and harmonious forms. For me, this means Shaker, Scandinavian, and mid-century modern furniture as well as traditional Japanese architecture. While informed by tradition, I do like to incorporate a novel twist on things, whenever possible.
I work primarily with domestic hardwoods such as walnut, cherry, and maple. I use imported exotic woods such as ebony and paduak for details and accents. When making custom furniture, I enjoy the collaborative process that comes from working closely with my clients to refine and improve the design at hand.

Apr 25, 2015We are extremely happy with our new Treehouse Table. The project went very smoothly, and we enjoyed working with Joseph. Preliminary discussion of the materials and the expected time frame was easily completed without confusion. Communication during the process was excellent. Packed well and arriving a few days following completion, the stunning final product is a perfect size with beautiful lines. We would love to work with Joseph on a future project.
