To secure a couple splits in the wood Rich created inlays using little pieces of dark walnut and a little piece of maple giving it a whimsical detail. It actually embraces the concept of wabi-sabi....the "art of imperfection." The Japanese fill cracks in china with gold filler....Rich uses contrasting wood.

I love the attention to detail...like the way the shelves wrap around the legs and the dark walnut pegs against the lighter oak. Yes...it's a work art and will last the rest of my life and beyond.

I love the sight line into the living room....it ties in with
all the warmer tones I have going on in there.
The shelves will be a handy place for bowls and serving platters and
the extra work surface will be a welcome addition to the kitchen!
Kitchen art at its finest!
Bravo Rich!
