This table top was the last two pieces of that amazing 1930s old growth Douglas Fir wood that came from an old warehouse. I don't do a lot of white furniture (yawn) but this piece was really complicated with multiple layers of cut and patterned wood block and triangles on the stays.
When I finished this piece in my ivory color I decided that it could (and should) have a pattern on the top that echoed all the triangle used in the wood blocking (each one of those raised pieces has a triangle pattern cut into them--it doesn't show in the photo well).
I was very pleased with the piece and gave it to an organization for a fundraiser. Though furniture, this was one of my pieces where I feel I went from furniture to art and back a few times.
