Walnut burl cocktail table: a curvy challenge...


One of my great clients asked me to come up with an adventurous design for a large cocktail table for their living room. I was fortunate to find a lovely flitch of large walnut burl for the top. I composed a nice four-way book matched pattern for the top. The pattern waterfalls over the edges. The design of the base is inspired by a lovely table by the late, great English furniture maker/designer Alan Peters. The mortise and tenon joinery became much more difficult with all of the intersecting curves!
