Living room set: Cherry Coffee & End Tables

Occasional Chairs: Shaker influenced Book-matched Cherry

With the influence of simple Shaker design, and beauty of 2 book-matched Cherry slabs of wood, I plan to create these occasional chairs. Not only do I plan to make this set of chairs unique and beautiful to look at, they will also be very comfortable.



These are the 2 slabs of Cherry I plan to use!

Natural Lines



Fresh pile of gorgeous Wild Black Cherry and English Walnut with the natural edge of the tree still intact, which is called a "flitch".


7'x30" Wild Black Cherry Flitch set.


Flipping through the flitch sets to decide which book-matched sets will best suit the needs of the customer, though this primary applies to table tops. When using a flitch board for a piece of fine furniture, the wood dictates what the final outcome will be, as you cannot force a natural shape. My goal is to create simple clean lines that compliment natural shapes.



Two beautiful examples of a flitch book-match.
