A special project for many reasons, the 5+ pieces for this spectacular Tahome took over a year to design and build.

The dining table is built from a matchbooked pair of claro walnut slabs salvaged from large upper limbs of a tree that lined the iconic gateway to the Monterey Peninsula from the Salinas Valley, Spreckels Boulevard, and uses a traditional mortise and tusked through tenon for the table base.

The bedroom furniture includes a king sized headboard and dresser made from the same lumber as the dining table. The headboard features two floating nightstands, each with a single solid wood drawer and the dresser highlights the beauty of the Spreckels Claro walnut with a simple appearance, but a complex construction that contains some secrets...

The video reveals these secrets and is a must watch to appreciate the beauty of the unique lumber that comes from the special trees.
