orchard slab table

$2500 available

I purchased a tree that was displaced by development some years ago. With the help of a local tree surgeon/sawyer, I milled the tree into slabs, air-dried them in my backyard for 2-3 years, and have recently begun building these coffee tables in a mid-century style.

The slabs are California Claro Walnut, which has been used for centuries as the root stock in local walnut orchards. In all of these slabs, you can clearly see the line at the top where the Claro Walnut was grafted to the fruit-bearing English Walnut. I have seldom seen more beautiful wood with greater variety of color. There are blues, blacks, and purples in the midst of the swirling red, brown, and orange.

The bases are made of  Piedmont Poplar -salvaged from a tree in Oakland.

Each of these tables is approximately 56-58″ long, 42-44″ wide, and 15″ tall. Slab thicknesses vary in places from 1.25″ to 1.75″.

There are currently 2 slab tables remaining. Email for specific photos or to visit and view them in the studio.

Personal delivery is free to any client located in the SF Bay area. Everywhere else in California is $100. Domestic shipping outside CA will vary in the $200-350 range.
