Clark's Wedge-Shaped Mission Style Center Table
I suppose if it goes on the end of a couch it is an end table. This one is designed to go between the client's Stickley chairs, angled in for proper viewing by two. Like the chairs, the table is built of sapele and has wenge accents. It has a mall drawer in the front for the remotes of course and a separate shelf space in the rear for displaying fine crafts. The quintessential furniture maker's nightmare: lots of parts for a very small piece - little things can still cost a lot:)

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 Shaker Style Farmhouse Table5.0I can't say enough positive things about Jonathan Walkey. He executed the design perfectly and in my opinion, it turned out better than the inspiration photo I provided. The price was very fair, the completion date was communicated without issue, and the final product is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to invest in a timeless, unique piece of furniture that will last a lifetime. Thank you Jonathan!

For Mission End Table5.0Antikea (Jonathan Walkey) did a fantastic job designing and making our matching end tables. They are beautifully crafted, absolutely stunning, and their value is clearly above their price. I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone wanting to work with a highly skilled wood furniture craftsman.

For Greene And Greene Table5.0We are very picky when it comes to furniture. We have purchased a few pieces of Stickley furniture. Stickley is very high quality but we really wanted something of high quality but designed just for us. Jonathan was the artist! We communicated by email. He was very timely with his responses and very detailed with his descriptions. I kept thinking to myself that he may get frustrated with us because we went back and forth on email at least 25 times. He was a perfect gentleman. Although we knew what we wanted, Jonathan gave us choices and gentle guidance so we could keep our vision in tact. Our table has Seven inlays of maple leafs and many more rectangular inlays at the bottom of the legs. What I find so subtle yet unique is that the inlays are not just copied from the original. All of the leafs, when you look closely, are different. This would never be seen in a factory piece, even with Stickley. We are extremely happy. The price was very competitive.

For Mission style craft/work table5.0This was my first experience commissioning a custom piece of furniture to be built, and I feel fortunate to have found Jonathan to handle the project, a crafting desk with large work surface for my wife. Working with Jonathan was a pleasure from start to finish – communication was excellent, he kept us up-to-date with frequent e-mail and pictures, accommodated all requirements (and changes) yet provided helpful recommendations based on his experience (also helping educate me on choice of wood and stain), and personally delivered and completed final assembly of the unit in my wife’s workshop. Jonathan is a meticulous craftsman and conscientious professional, and just an overall really nice guy to work with. The final result is beautiful, and my wife is very pleased with her new work desk, using it daily for her crafting and card making. I would not hesitate to recommend Jonathan, and certainly use him again for any future work. Thanks Jonathan!
