Scott's "Mittens And Slippers" Jatoba Coffee Table

$695

This (Danish) / early 60's modern style coffee table was designed to fit Scott's dimensions (to fit a specific space) and to use the same wood as that in my "Starry Night" coffee table. the tabletop (all from one board), aprons, and legs are made from jatoba (aka Brazilian cherrywood). The breadboard ends (mittens) and the leg tips (slippers) are made from a red Bubinga to accent and enhance the red tones of the Jatoba, and satisfy the artist's fondness for accents. Jatoba is a dense, heavy, oily wood (like teak) and it is very hard and resistant to denting. With its wet-sanded Danish oil finish, it is almost impervious to food and drink and can be easily refinished if ever needed. Pretty too.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

Jonathan Walkey is retired professional furniture maker who now makes selected pieces for discriminating clients. I am a one man studio, specializing in decorative arts and crafts, mid-century, Greene & Green, etc. furniture. my own personal style generally includes contrasting hardwoods with beautiful grains and hand worked inlays. In between commissions I simultaneously work on personal studio furniture projects.

I was raised in Lincoln Massachusetts where my father was the director of the DeCordova Museum of modern art. My mother worked as an expert in fine crafts and furniture . I attended many arts and crafts classes and summer art camps at the Museum. I was trained as a silversmith at age 11 and at age 12 built a 10 foot kayak made of wood and canvas. I was a U.S. Navy trained aviation mechanic and earned my living for 15 years as a master mechanic, working mainly on motorcycles. I am also a former carpenter, criminal appellate attorney, credentialed teacher, professional writer, and painter.

Today I apply my talents and interests to building fine arts and craft furniture. My lifelong continuing education combines training of the mind with training of the hands. What you buy from Jonathan is fine art as well as heirloom quality furniture built to last many lifetimes. These qualities are reflected in the cost of my work, neither of which should ever be compared with that of commercial furniture.

    I LOVE my new "Experience" tables. Working with Jonathan was not only easy, but a lot of fun. He kept me informed along the entire process, from photos of the raw wood, to the finished project, and all the way between. He was very flexible on delivery as well. I will definitely use him again for future projects, and have already recommended him to friends. Thanks again Jonathan…

    We have just received the coffee table that Jonathan Walkey made for us. It is beautiful…exactly what we requested and perfect for our space! We really appreciate the way Jonathan kept us posted on his progress and the pictures he sent as he worked on the table.
