Here is a slab walnut coffee table I built. The table is made from one big 2 inch thick slab of walnut. I inlayed maple bowties in the top to help stabilize a couple of cracks and for the decorative effect it adds. The base is also made from solid walnut and has walnut burl veneered panels on the ends. The top is finished with shellac and has been rubbed out to an incredible sheen. The great thing about tables like this is that it really does make the piece of wood the star of the show. You could easily have a table like this made with any kind of wood you like. I would also be happy to provide you with my suppliers' information so that you can go shop for your own unique piece of wood (over the internet of course) and once you have it picked out I can make your table.

I build a variety of furniture in my small shop here in Norfolk Nebraska. I like working with my customer to come up with original designs and enjoy the challenge of taking something from concept to functional artwork. No project is too big or too small. Each holds its own challenges. I enjoy working with exotic woods and veneers. They add beauty that can only be found in handmade furniture. Wood is my passion and I encourage you to ask questions as it is only in the dialogue between customer and craftsman that true art can really emerge. And… forgive the picture… I just want you to remember me!!
