Walnut "Teepee" Table Base For 48 Inch Diameter Glass Tabletop
Another version of my ever-popular modern table bases. This one is made from 1 and 3/4 inch thick walnut, carefully chosen to complement the walnut in the hutch the client inherited from her mother. Timelessly modern. These bases break down into flat halves. The cost to ship this base from San Diego to Maryland was $103.00

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 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!
