Breakfast Table

Breakfast Table is a, 6' x 4' x 30", green ash table custom designed and built for an Illinois homeowner, my mother. A tree in her backyard was declared a 'widow maker' by a local arborist due to the emerald ash borer and was ready to fall. After the tree fell, the tree was cut up with a chainsaw, rough sawed, and set to dry for just over a year. After drying, it was milled, and made into a one of a kind table that fits just under a window in her house and is meant for enjoying the view of the river, eating breakfast, and paperwork. Purple heart splines hold the table top together because the color purple means something special to her; a true detail oriented furniture piece that will last lifetimes.
