Dining table in Walnut and Juniper



Juniper top with a walnut trestle base, beautiful combo........ table top wood is full of grain patterns form a bookmatched set of three boards, one each facing together and one with center cut grain, making the whole top balanced and rich with opposing swirls and knots. Mother nature made such a nice tree and I feel very lucky to be able to recycle these planks into a lasting piece of furniture. The tree is one of the most recycling things on the planet, they take CO2 and give up O2, then they shade us and make the place look terrific. After they die, of course in nature they would produce homes for animals and decomposed plant matter. But when I get the chance to intervene and use this material for a piece of art. I'm thrilled, so is the client.....
