This Arts and Crafts/Shaker inspired piece was designed to make the best of some beautiful figured black walnut I had been saving. I was able to work the curves of the piece with the natural curves in the grain of the incredible curly walnut. The interior of the cabinet is African mahogany with its light amber color to contrast the deep colors of the black walnut. It currently has two adjustable shelves, but could easily be fitted with a wine rack if my customer so desires. The piece features a solid poplar dovetailed drawer with hidden under mount ball bearing drawer slides with a nice soft-close feature. The piece is hand rubbed with multiple layers of oil polyurethane to highlight the figure of the wood and provide maximum protection.
The piece was recently completed and is for sale. Please take a look at the "Art Pieces-For Sale" page for more info. If you are interested in this piece or something like it, feel free to contact me, and I would be happy to give you a price quote and discuss the many options available.
