A console table inspired by an Alaskan beach.
On a damp low-clouded day in 2008 I was waiting in Homer, Alaska for a flight to go bear-watching, but we couldn’t fly because of the weather and I spent my time drawing and painting among the driftwood on the beach, looking out across Kachemak Bay. 2 years later I found this board of spalted English Beech whose figuring reminded me so much of that view. After many designs for this piece which I felt were over-complicated I arrived at this one, whose simplicity I hope suggests enough of beach and water to let the wood tell the rest of the story.
