Grain pattern, you say?

Here’s where hand-selected, flitch-sawn lumber comes in. The five-foot-long top of this tilt-top table is made of burled English brown oak crossbanded in figured mahogany with maple string inlay. Bill painstakingly “bookmatched” two pieces together to achieve the grain pattern you see here. Not only was the grain tricky to line up, but so was the tilt top mechanism made of wood to twist on dowels. The only metal is the brass latch and the casters attached to the fluted legs of the solid mahogany, single-pedestal base. Built on speculation and now in a private home in Bristol, this piece is one of Bill’s personal favorites.
