The beautiful black lines of the spalted sycamore were the inspiration for "Seascape". Looking as if an artist had painstakingly drawn an ocean setting complete with cliffs, clouds and surf this was the look of the sycamore as Mother Nature delivered it to us. The panoramic view is further accented by an ambrosia maple shelf that brings to mind the shifting sands of a beach. The two drawers are faced with walnut burl and hand turned ebony pulls, and when opened the hand dovetailed drawers bring more delight with the curly maple sides and fragrant Spanish cedar drawer bottoms. When mounted to the wall the shelf will appear to float and is designed to hold your most treasured items. It is designed to be mounted to the wall with screws through attachment points hidden behind each drawer (32" on center). The item pictured is no longer available however I can custom design a beautiful shelf specifically for you!

For Mike's Media CabinetMy media cabinet came out exactly as I hoped it would. Throughout the process, Roger provided clear updates and presented me with easy to understand options. I look forward to working with Roger again.

For wall-mounted shelfRoger's work is excellent. I am extremely pleased with the way he took my vague idea and transformed it into a build-able design. The joinery is first-class. I recommend Strathamwood without reservation.
