Walnut Long-Table, and Framed Print of Job
Below are some views of the walnut long-table as well as a colored print of “Go On, Job, Bread and Water” framed in walnut for my friend.
Walnut Long Table
The following are a series of photos of the construction of what I have chosen to call a “walnut long table”, featuring a large center cut black walnut slab about 2″ thick from Fall River, KS. The legs are also black walnut from Boaz, KS.
