Hickory Built-In / Seating Area / Handrail
Lighting and glass were used to give this hand planed hickory built-in a less heavy look. The eased edges and calm grain patterns give it a clean, light weight appearance while providing hard useful surfaces and lots of space to display. The seating area provides an easy seating angle and enough room for 6-8. Cherry table to sit around. The handrail is in collaboration with partner craftmen, with sliced geode panels and hand forged balustrade.

Meet the Maker
John Bohman
Dovetail furniture company
I build custom furniture, cabinets and interior woodwork. I have a large stock of air dried domestic hardwoods in house to choose from if desired, most of which I have harvested or reclaimed. A general emphasis on hand tools and traditional joinery is my trademark. However, my shop is well equipped with power machinery which helps the process along with the necessary shortcuts needed for efficiency. I focus on pushing boundaries in design while practicing traditional woodworking.
I attended Rosewood Studio school of Fine Woodworking in Almonte, Onterio in 2003 were I studied hand tools and joinery such as dovetails, mortise and tennons, etc. In 2006 I was awarded a Sam Maloof scholarship and attended a body conscious chair design class at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, CO led by Berkely anthropology professor Galen Cranz and chairmaker Issabelle Moore of Britain.

Jul 25, 2014Working with John as a breeze. Very prompt with responses of questions. Sent me pictures showing the progress and tracking number of the shipment. When we received our coffee table, it took us about 10 minutes to open it, it was packed so well. And the table was simply gorgeous. Beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I would contact John in the future for other items.
