This sophisticated modern table incorporates straight grain walnut not commonly found for 40-inch diameter, solid walnut edge-banded top. The base is a newly designed tripod built from walnut stock 3.25 inches square. It is joined with stout splines running top to bottom of each of three joints. This base could support many thousands of pounds. This design can be made for larger dining tables, taller for bar height tables, or smaller for end tables. The base could be used under glass top tables or in pairs for large, rectangular or oval tables of wood, glass, etc. FAB!

    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.

    We just received our table last evening. The craftsmanship is superb and we love the table. We would recommend this craftsman highly to anyone and will use him for another project that we are working on. Shipping was a little slow , but the end result was excellent, and the shipping personnel were professional and courteous and careful.
    Overall extremely satisfied.

    I am SO happy with the gorgeous, professional quality table Jonathan made for me! It is an absolute work of art - he made it with the utmost attention to every detail. He took the time to choose just the right boards and made sure the grains were lined up perfectly. It is exactly what I wanted. I feel so lucky to have found Jonathan, I would recommend him with the highest regard. He was so great to work with, and he shipped the table with such incredible care (all the way from CA to NY). It arrived in perfect condition. It is a custom designed heirloom piece for my family to be so proud of - THANK YOU Jonathan!!

    I 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!
