The main structure of the table is constructed from a single piece of live-edge quilted maple. The bark had to be removed from the live-edge prior to any surface milling. This was done with a chisel and cleaned up with sandpaper. Two traditional black cherry bow-ties were inlaid to provide a mechanical clamp against the large crack that protruded from one end. The main structure of the table was fabricated by cutting apposing 45-degree miters in the maple. Floating tenons were used to aid in alignment and provide additional strength to the joint. The result was a c-shaped structure where the grain and figuring of the wood wraps around the corners. A cherry colored gel stain was used to tint the maple. This tone was enough to darken the wood without distracting from the grain of the quilted and birds-eye figuring. Five coats of polyurethane were applied over the gel stain. Polyurethane provides a durable finish that will protect the wood from moisture and everyday contact. |

War Chest
|
June, 2019 - Milton, FL
Commissioned going away gift for a respected military leader. This chest was designed to mimic in appearance and construction chests found commonly in the Campaign Furniture genre. It contains several small details that highlight the craftsmanship and quality found in high end furniture. Construction Details: Handcrafted from a single Mahogany board. Mahogany is a wood traditionally used in campaign furniture because of it’s attractive appearance and stability when exposed to varying moisture and temperatures. The alignment of grains across adjacent surfaces is a small detail that provides balance and improves the appearance without being obvious. The joinery used is thru dovetails. This provides an attractive edge detail and durable construction. The darker end-grain from the adjacent board is clearly visible. The end grain is darker because it absorbs finish more readily than side grain. Premium brass hardware was selected for the handles and hinges. The brass handles are inset for an attractive low profile appearance. These handles are polished and unfinished. Over time, they will age to an attractive patina. The chest was finished with three coats of clear lacquer and three coats of wax. This provides a durable easy to maintain finish. Dimensions: 20” Wide X 12” Deep X 14” Tall Material: Mahogany |

Walnut Live Edge Growth Chart
|
October, 2017 - Niceville, FL
Walnut Custom planed to 3/4" thickness Trim routed numbers, finished with a paring chisel Hand painted accents with satin black 2 coats of wipe on semi-gloss polyurethane finish Close friends asked if we could find a really nice piece of lumber to build a growth chart for their son. We dug through our stash of walnut and found a piece with some unique grain. The piece started as a rough cut board approximately 1" thick. It had a pretty good warp and twist on it that needed to be addressed before we could run out through the planer. We knocked the high spurs down with hand planes until one side was flat. After a few passes through the planer, the board was ¾" thick. |
