Walnut Coffee Table With Quartermatched Top And Maple Accent
This table was designed for the CEO's office of a large IT company. It is used between two long couches for "think sessions". It is built from a single, locally cut walnut tree that was slabbed and air dried for about 8 years. All the parts were cut from 2'' thick slabs, and the top quarter-matched veneer is 1/4'' thick for durability. The legs protrude through the top and the maple wedges and pins in the trestle are keeping the table assembled. The finish is a clear penetrating oil to harden the wood and bring out the beautiful colors of the air dried walnut and then finished with a clear catalyzed lacquer. This is a very unique "one of a kind" table, that the rest of the office furniture and cabinetry were built to match.

I specialize in custom design and construction of furniture, office furniture, conference tables, desks, and many other solid wood items. All items are made with solid wood or plywood; no particle board or mdf is used. Many desks and office furniture is made using materials from a single tree.
I have been making custom wood products for over 40 years. Custom house cabinetry led to entry doors, to log furniture, and to office desks and conference tables, and now musical instruments. Items that I make are all "one of a kind" productions and will last to become treasured antiques.
I use modern tools and materials, but apply proven techniques for matching, laminating, assembly and overall quality.
