Nakashima Style Sycamore Side Table
Live edge table was created to emphasize the unique fluid grain patterns found in both Sycamore and Jatoba wood. Sycamore is a species of tree that highlights its medullary rays when properly cut. These rays yield a highly interesting visual found on the surface. This was mounted this wood on a base of Brazilian Jatoba. This species of wood showcases a strong linear grain pattern used in the execution for both its strength and density. The Jatoba wood completes the artwork with an elegant soft sheen finish. The artwork is fashioned by using design features in the style polarized by furniture and woodworker, George Nakashima (1905-1990). It's intended to be a tribute to the path Nakashima forged. 20.5 x 28.5 x 17

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a reformed marketing and business development executive. As a lifelong woodworker I am finally spending my energy creating unique pieces using wood. I share this passion by teaching woodworking at a makerspace.
My pieces are primarily created out of wood. The joy unlocking the beauty of the diversity of colors and textures in the wood is pleasurable. Often, I use pieces with striking imperfections which many discard as unusable. Something I like to call Redemption Woodworking. To me marrying form with function is necessary for all quality creations.
Recently I have been making some interesting furniture: tables, benches, stools, and cabinets for area art museums. Between the more elaborate pieces making household items (serving trays, charcuterie boards, boxes, turned bowls, and toys) is a relaxing way to try different ideas.
