Boston Table—Claro walnut, Gabon ebony, quartersawn white oak—17-1/2” deep x 47-1/2” wide x 31” high. This piece was made for the NH Furniture Masters 20th year Anniversary. The wide variety of grain and figuring in a single large plank of Claro always amazes me. For the drawer fronts I split a large section of crotch wood to get this feathered pattern. The finish is varnish. The slow process of developing and making a piece like this is both demanding and enjoyable.
