  • Spalted Pecan and Rosewood Dining Room Table – Sold

    Spalted Pecan and Rosewood Dining Room Table

    Designed and built by Jerry Carr.   The table is made up of two woods, pecan and rosewood.
    The pecan tree came from Lake Panasoffkee FL area. The tree looked to be the largest burl I’ve ever seen. It really was just a swollen area but produced a great look. The wood actually is spalted and is very cool looking.
    The Rosewood was cut in Central Florida. This tree is actually on the exotic invasive species in Florida.  This makes a wonderful contrast to the pecan. The design is just something I had in my head. It is finished with 9 coats of general finishes urathane. The table measures 7′ by 4′.  Thanks for looking.

  • China Berry Bench – SOLD!

    I cut down a large China Berry tree near my house and had it cut into slabs. After studying the slabs for a few years, I found if I glued two slabs together (end to end), it would make a good bench back. Then the ideas started happening. After working out the dimensions, I found the back had some punky wood (very soft). I found a source of Arizona’s Kingsman mine turquoise. This is high quality turquoise and some say has healing properties. I used over 2 ½ lbs of turquoise and 6 coats of lacquer to finish the bench. The China Berry has very unusual grain patterns with hues that match Mahogany in beauty. This is a stunning bench that anyone would be proud to display. China Berry Slab: This slab came from the same tree as my bench. This piece is cut cross grain from the tree and then cut again in half. I found the sap wood was very punky so I inlaid turquoise which gives it a very distinctive look. They look like growth rings only blue/green. A very stunning art piece.
