Classic Series : Production No. 2
This was our second production series. The primary woods are Quilted Maple and Mahogany, trimmed in Wenge with Bubinga legs. The Maple was cut from a single billet and shaped to provide a continuous flow of the grain. The top is beveled approximately 2" in order to lighten the edge of the top. The mahogany sides received an inlay of 1/8" thick quilted maple, flowing into the shaped bubinga legs. We used quality 95* Brusso stop hinges on this piece.
The piece was driven from the Quilted Maple that makes up the top and sides. I had a desire to showcase the beauty of the Maple in a way that drew the eye in and tempts the viewer to touch its surface. The interior is lined with deer suede leather and contains a 3" x 6" oval mirror. The dividers and lift out tray are made from 1/8" mahogany strips, giving a variety of storage options. It is finished with multiple coats of Sam Maloof's Poly/Oil finish and topped with several coats of Sam Maloof's Oil/Wax, polished to a satin finish that begs to be touched. The piece is approximately 10" wide by 8" deep by 4" tall.
This piece currently resides in Salt Lake City, Utah.
