Nakashima-Inspired Sideboard
Woodworker: Marcus Collier
This sideboard (27 in. deep by 71 in. wide by 28 in. tall) was commissioned as a fifth wedding anniversary present-the traditional gift being wood. The clients wanted the piece built of walnut and liked the work of George Nakashima, so Collier took inspiration from his book, The Soul of a Tree, building the piece with a natural-edged top and butterfly keys. Other materials include poplar, Gabon ebony, and hand-forged iron pulls made in Japan. The finish is polyurethane.
