Mid-Century Modern Solid Walnut Three-Drawer Desk

$2,495

There are actually two different desks in this set of photos. The second one has legs of increased thickness. I am currently working on a third (2/19), which also has the thicker legs. I thought this desk would be popular and I have now made three in less than a year. This desk is classic mid-century modern on my own custom designed leg base, which can be separated from the desk box. Made from hand-chosen solid black walnut, this is a very special desk. Super strong construction methods have been used and the quality of fit and finish is spotless. The three drawers slide on ball bearing guides and the drawer fronts are pure mid-century and two layers of walnut. The desk is finished in hand wet-sanded Danish Oil and Satin Wax for a great look and feel. MORE PHOTOS TO FOLLOW.

    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.

    Thank you for the beautiful custom table! The 72" "Teepee" table base was a perfect fit in our client's home. We just installed last week and could not be happier! Beautiful piece and great customer service!

    We asked Jonathan Walkey to create an oak dining table to accomodate bench seating based on his excellent reviews. We feel fortunate that he accepted our request. The magnificent piece is the center of our home with family and guests gathered round it enjoying the inclusive comfort of the corner it occupies. Jonathan's creation exceeded our expectations! His craftsmanship and integrity make him and his creations a one-of-a-kind experience. Thank, Jonathan!

    I HIGHLY recommend Jonathan - he was excellent to work with in every way, and you definitely will not be disappointed with his craftsmanship. I asked Jonathan to reproduce an Ethan Allen cherry wood sofa table. I had purchased the coffee and end table, but the sofa table got discontinued before I was able to order it. All I had to do was email hm a picture of the end table and the dimensions I wanted. Jonathan was able to replicate the sofa table perfectly! If you looked at Jonathan's table and my other two, you would think they had all been purchased together. The workmanship is EXCELLENT, and the price was actually slightly less than what I would have had to pay at Ethan Allen. Thank you Jonathan!

    I've been remiss in waiting so long to post this review. I purchased the mahogany&maple hall table from Jonathan linked below, and it is a marvel. We love it, and everyone who visits our house talks about it. We couldn't be happier!
