The hand sculpted base is perfect for tables of any dimensions, or combined with stone such as slate or granite, or to simply show off the beauty of a slab of wood that has been at a lake bottom for over a hundred years. |
There is a natural aesthetic to my designs. For several years I kept a large natural walnut slab in my studio and confronted it daily. My intent was to come up with a non-nakashima approach to this slab. One day the design just hit me and the result was a hand shaped and undulating stand dictated by the slab. Sometimes I lead the wood, and sometimes the wood leads me. |
