Summer Furniture

Just three of our furniture projects this summer. Lots of live-edge, lots of spalted maple.

A table and bench project for our friend Iris out of the same spalted maple we used on
her bar top.

The steel base gave it a sleek, modern look that fit the rest of her home.

The table was book matched (take a chunk of wood, slice it horizontally and open it up like a book to give a cohesive, symmetrical look) with a few butterfly dovetail keys buttoning up the joints (can you find one through the figure in this photograph?)

The table and bench in context with her kitchen.

The headboard for a spalted maple bedframe ready to go, waiting at our shop.

Evan and Wes install at our client's Chuckanut home.

Finished result!

Spalted maple buffet.
