Story
Story
Three shops. Portland, Austin, now Reno. The walnut outlasted every lease.
I'd always dodged end-grain boards. More shtick than substance. Chunky butcher blocks that scream louder than the food they serve. Then a colleague asked for one, I surveyed my inventory and found the argument against myself. Cutoffs. Everywhere. Scraps from nearly every walnut project I'd touched across three cities and several years, just sitting in bins and waiting to be noticed.
I only had three-quarter stock, so the blocky look was dead on arrival, thank Pomona. Good riddance. What emerged instead were rectangles within a rectangle. Thin, precise, geometric swirls. Better than anything I'd have drawn up on purpose.
Every cutoff is a project that ended. Enough of them together is a new beginning.
