The Zen Breakfast Table is made from a salvaged Chinese Pistache tree cut down in Woodland, CA.  Given the nature of the tree it seemed fitting to honor it with a Nakashima inspired design and let the figure of the tree speak for itself.  The accents are made of California Black Walnut also from a tree in Woodland, CA. 

The top includes bookmatch boards with hand-chisled butterfly inlays.  The base was constructed using hand chisled half-lap joints and the legs have hand shaped edges made with the spokeshave.  Overall dimension are 60" x 36" x 30".

It truly is a magnificient work of art !! Asian design has always been a bridge between all periods..I appreciate this table as it makes a bold statement...but accepts many complimentary art forms Bravo !
