Big-leaf maple burl table
Dec 31, 2020
Though inspired by George Nakashima, Jay devised his own twist on the slab-top table. The big-leaf maple burl top started off as a single piece, but he said, “I decided that I didn’t want to just work with the natural cracks in the wood, so I created my own ‘splits’ in a manner that highlighted aspects of the wood.” He made butterflies in purpleheart, yellowheart, bubinga, and redheart to add contrast.
