There is more detail on the Monticello story HERE

The tree came down in 2011. I completed these two tables in 2018.

Before this I made a number of smaller tables and benches the Monticello Tulip Poplar II. Each table has a top of Monticello Tulip Poplar II and black walnut legs. Each bench has a top from the Tulip Poplar II, and hand-hewn black walnut legs split and worked out by the West Virginia artisan Jim Lakiotes. I finish dried them here and fit them to the tops. Flat board tops have walnut skirts and legs. All tables are 17 1/2″ tall. The finish is a conversion varnish, very tough and durable.

From the base of a large side branch. $4,000
