<SOLD> This one of a kind handcrafted walnut coffee table was inspired by mid-century modern design, but incorporates subtle contours which can’t be found in factory-made vintage furniture. We use fine-tuned hand tools to give the edges an organic flow which just can’t be achieved with a router bit or power saw blade. Notice in the photos how the corners taper slightly to give a sleek sculptural effect reminiscent of the edge of a surfboard without being an exact copy. The overall impression of the piece also brings to mind the hull of a watercraft or a naturally worn river stone.
We produce this design in a variety of material, but the Black Walnut seen here is especially fetching with a deep, rich patina and plenty of textural interest. Unlike most 1960’s factory furniture, this piece received no artificial coloring. What you see here is the natural coloration of Virginia Black Walnut, which will only grow more distinguished with time. The finish is a Tung Oil Varnish which lends a natural satin sheen, repels water better than any synthetic finish, and is amazingly easy to maintain and touch up. This table measures 51″W X 21″D X 14″H. These black hairpin legs can easily be switched upon request to change the height of the table.  Sold  2/6/2016 for $399
