Materials: Tennessee
Black Walnut
Dimensions: 31”
x 16” x 60”
I purchased the black walnut for this handmade table
from a farmer in Tennessee. The tree came down in
a storm and the farmer had it milled into planks.
I air dried the rough planks for two years. This
air dried black walnut was filled with beautiful
chocolate browns and purples.
The side and back aprons are attached to the table
legs using pinned mortise and tenon joints. The
bottom and top front rails are attached using dovetail
joints. The drawers are joined using hand cut dovetails
and the drawer bottoms are book matched solid black
walnut. The top is also book matched. The table
was finished with a tung oil, linseed oil and urethane
wipe-on mixture.
