Walnut Table with Waterfall Detail

With hidden steel structural supports and plenty of glue, this piece of furniture achieves a stunning continuous grain from tabletop to legs.

I really enjoy the opportunity to photograph unique, hand-crafted furniture. Shooting the details is always interesting, often textural, and sometimes abstract. The challenge is showing the entire piece, such as this walnut table, in its setting. The styling and angle had to be just right so the attention is not taken away from the table, but enough is shown of the room to give it context. I needed to show, from this angle, the stunning continuous grain from the table top to the legs. This walnut tabletop was built with a very unique waterfall detail. It was created with hidden steel structural supports and plenty of glue.

    I also love exclusive furniture and I think that it is more important than a good layout and wallpaper. It brings aesthetic pleasure. I recently bought a leather sofa and now every guest asks how and where I found it. Just look at it. How do you like?

    I love this furniture design, it looks modern. Recently I've bought two similar tables. One of them is currently standing in the garage and I want to protect it somehow. I'm thinking of buying a couple of covers on the website alcocovers.com . On this website you can choose the size of the cover as well as the color and type of the material. You can even order a cover with unique parameters not presented on the website. This is called custom made covers. I think it is very convenient and usable!

    I happen to also purchase a patio furniture cover for my outdoor furniture. We found our outdoor sectional cover at Dola Patio website with many options and offering of really high-end covers.
