On the left: PETER RAMBO of Sooke, B.C., Canada
Years ago, Peter came across a bin labeled “Japanese white oak” at the lumberyard. The folks there told him the oak had been purchased decades before by a patternmaker who, when he retired and closed his shop, sold it back. Peter bought it all, thinking that a set of chairs would be an appropriate and respectful use of the wood.

Because he wanted to design a foyer table to look modern and light but not too leggy, Roland added a center drawer along with a lower shelf to balance the design.
