a couple of years ago, a client bought a large claro walnut slab from me, and had us make a console table with a little over half of it. i can’t find a picture of that piece for some reason, but you can see the cad drawing of it and the layout where we cut it to go around a carved piece that was on the wall above a heater. complicated to explain … anyway, we had almost half of the slab left over and since she paid for the whole piece, it was up to me to figure out what else she could have us make with the leftover chunk. i had an idea it would be about the right size for a coffee table if i cut it in half, but i had those funky notches … anyway, i added the ‘box’ as a support and a couple of simple legs and she (finally) went for it (after a couple years of thinking about it) .. it was an interesting process. more process pictures of it on my dorset custom furniture blog ... the last picture above is a complicated island piece that we are working on … in this post, you can see it progress from idea to about half done, as well as 5 or six other kitchen islands we have built over the years … more on the island piece after it is finished …

I love it! This is exactly the kind of thing that I want to make. I have some slices from a walnut tree about 3-4 foot drying just for this.
