Nakashima inspired Dining Table

This has been one of my favorite projects this year. The Oregon Walnut was harvested over 2 years ago from a friend’s property in Salem. I had seen the “yin-yang” overlapping of bookmatched slabs, and always wanted to do it. The planets aligned with a client willing to give me some creative freedom and here is the result. We filled the void with an arrangement of mussel shell and clear epoxy.

The detail of the epoxy filled void. The mussel shells were gathered by the client on the oregon coast and I made them into a “tide pool” in the table.
