Arrowood Table

Walnut, walnut burl veneer
18 x 18 x 24 inches
2013

The legs on this table are actually made from a single piece of lumber. The board was cut from the perimeter of the tree spanning the entire heartwood to sapwood transition which in walnut runs through many shades of brown, purple and grey. I dissected this board into 3/8" square strips and reassembled it with contrasting pieces abutting each other which resulted in the pattern of parabolas and hyperbolas when shaped into the final leg form.
