Walnut Modern Table Base For Round Glass Top
This Walnut table base goes under a 48" diameter glass top. It was made for an interior designer using some very lovely walnut. These bases are quite popular: this is the fourth one I have made.

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.

For Mid-Century Modern Solid Walnut Three-Drawer Desk4.8Jonathan is a master. The desk he made for us is absolutely stunning. We are thrilled beyond words with the quality and finish. I expect to have this desk for years to come. Delivery was seamless. He ran a little behind schedule but communicated well along the way. It was worth the wait. Thanks Jonathan!

For Blake's desk5.0Working with Jonathan was great. I provided measurements for my custom desk, and Jonathan was timely & efficient during the entire process. I gave him an idea of how I wanted it to look and Jonathan delivered. I will definitely be using him in future projects. Thank you for everything Jonathan!

For Base for glass-top 36 or 42" table - Ibi? Tipe? Tripod?5.0I purchased his "tipi" table in cherry wood. It's great and I would definitely use him again. The woodwork is perfect and the joining hardware (it comes apart in two pieces for shipping or storage) is all metal-on-metal. He installed two captive threaded sleeves, rather than screws-into-wood, which is higher quality than I was expecting. Definitely an A-plus.

For Suzanne's Dining Table5.0This was the most impressive process, from start to completion. The communication about this project was excellent, and Jonathan was very professional, and patient. He took the time to explain every aspect of the project from the initial design to the wood selection, stain options and all the steps in between. He sent pictures as the table developed, making this a very personal experience. I cannot be more pleased with the outcome. It is exactly what I had envisioned. I wasn’t sure whether that would be the case when initially deciding to go with custommade.com for this project. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! The result is a unique and beautiful piece, hand crafted with knowledge, care and expertise. We will make many memories around this table and it will be treasured. Jonathan is a true artist. Thank you Jonathan for this positive experience and for this piece. I hope you will be available to work on future projects and would select you as the contractor in a heartbeat. Thanks custommade.com for facilitating!

He was good with providing updates as the table was being made, and it was shipped on time and in perfect condition. I love the end result - the table is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend him for your next project!
