Macassar Ebony Table

Woodworker: William WellsFor Wells, who interned with Michael Fortune, this table (12 in. deep by 54 in. wide by 32 in. tall) was a lesson in grain direction and curves. Wells chose Macassar ebony veneer because its distinctive grain would stand out as it wrapped from the top down the front and back.
