Desk and table made from urban walnut
A large walnut tree was blown over in the summer of 2008 on the property of the Busken family of Indian Hill, OH. Rather than let the wood go to waste or use it as firewood, the owner commissioned me to make a desk and a conference table from the lumber. My wife, Pat, turned pens from the wood as well.
The top's irregular shape was dictated by the contours of the two book matched boards that comprise the top. I retained the live edges and the sapwood border. The slanted U-shaped base was made from a single 2" thick board about 5' long and 13" wide . I sawed in a way to create the U shape.
