Richard's Small Walnut And Wenge Greene & Greene Style Table
Beautiful things come in small packages. This small table was commissioned to go between the client's Morris chairs. It is made from premium walnut with African black wenge breadboard ends and joinery accents. It is a small but powerful expression of the beauty of walnut and the timeless design of the Greene Brother.

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 Counter Height, narrow wood table.5.0I 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…

For Purpleheart And Quilty Bird's Eye Maple Entry Hall Table.5.0I 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!

For custom night stands5.0We had a special request for Jonathan and he surpassed our wishes by far. His inlay work is delicate and graceful, embodying the best example of a centuries-old tradition. We love our tables and all that they represent.
