Lori's Maple And Wenge Inlaid Sofa, Entry Hall, Of Console Table

$1,395

This table is based on a similar table I build several years ago. It is solid hard maple and solid African wenge. It is one solid table! The tabletop design is hand inlaid and the top wet-sanded. The table is finished in Danish Oil and satin wax for a lovely, durable, real-wood feel and oh, so smooth.

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 Lift top coffee table Project
    5.0

    My Wife and I originally commissioned Jonathan to build a custom lift top coffee table, as we could not find what we were looking for at any furniture stores or through online sources. While working with Jonathan on the design of this table, we quickly realized that we were working with someone that was as meticulous as I am, therefore we added 2 additional tables to the original order.

    All three tables are made of Bubinga and Padauk for a perfect match. Jonathan was extremely helpful in the design phase, providing suggestions that helped insure that the finished products would meet our high expectations. During the building phase, Jonathan was prompt to keep us abreast of his progress by providing pictures and email updates.
    Once the tables were completed, Jonathan personally delivered the three tables to our house in Nevada which allowed us to meet him, and discuss the tables.

    We found Jonathan easy to work with. He is a true craftsman with very high standards for his work. We would recommend him to anyone, and would not hesitate to use his talents again in the future.

    Working with Jonathan was such a pleasure. In corresponding with him I knew my cart was in very good hands. I got my cart today and the pictures that he sent me did not do it justice. The cart is fabulous. I would consider Jonathan on any of my future projects.

    Thanks again Jonathan.
