This walnut and maple table is made entirely with wedged mortise and tenon joints, with the exception of the attachment of the top. The two haves of the walnut top slide from the front and back onto sliding dovetail stretchers. The inlaid rocks cover small defects in the surface of the top. The natural waney edge of the walnut top adds beauty and character.
