SOLD

This coffee table was designed and handcrafted by Richmond’s own Nathaniel Newcomb. It is a one of a kind piece built for the 2017 Visual Arts Center Annual Teacher Exhibit. The materials are Black Walnut, Mahogany, and Oak arranged in a geometric mosaic layout which accentuates the complementary tones of the three featured hardwoods. Traditional wood joinery makes this table exceedingly sturdy while providing pleasing visual accents. It is a table meant to be viewed from every vantage point, displaying a different set of angles from each point in the room. This geometric dynamism is a hallmark of Newcomb’s work. Some pieces imply a sense of motion; this one inclines the viewer to move around it. This particular table will not be duplicated, but custom work is available upon request.

Circular Cherry Slab Coffee Table

SOLD

This handcrafted circular cherry slab coffee table features a captivating grain pattern, visible wood joinery which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and a smooth satin lacquer finish. It sits on three sturdy  bare steel hairpin legs which add an industrial edge. The bare steel complements the subtle tones of amber and beige in the slab top. The cracks which occur inevitably while a piece like this dries have been filled with  polyester resin tinted with cherry sawdust to give an organic look and smooth feel. Double dovetail inlays of quartersawn cherry have been  inserted  where necessary for enduring structural stability. This unique naturalistic piece was crafted by local artisan Josh Barker. It measures 24″ in diameter and stands 17″ high.

Surfboard Coffee Table in Hickory by Epoch

SOLD

Surfboard Coffee Table Hickory Epoch
This one of a kind 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 Hickory 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. 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. $399
