butternut, black walnut, Douglas fir, poplar, white pine, rosewood, ebony, holly, abalone
18" deep x 46" wide x 37-1/2" high

This sideboard was once a gnarly old butternut tree that grew near my shop, until it succumbed to blight and bugs. A wood slow to mellow, butternut warms to a deep amber, lustrous and satiny. My celebration of this vanishing wood combines tactile surfaces shaped with sharp planes, legs and crotch door panels from black walnut - a cousin tree - abalone inlaid knobs, an interior of wonderfully aromatic fir, and practical storage.
