Some projects are just too good to leave in the archives. 👀🪵
We went WAY back for this one—this custom black walnut kitchen island was built by JR in 2020, and six years later, we’re still obsessed with that wood.
The live edge, all that crazy walnut figure, and the gunmetal-tinted epoxy filling the natural voids made this slab anything but ordinary. And turning it into the centerpiece of a kitchen? Even better.
Projects like this are one of our favorite reminders that custom woodworking can go far beyond a dining table. Kitchen islands, countertops, bars, built-ins, statement pieces—or that idea you’ve had in your head but haven’t quite figured out how to make happen.
Chances are, JR would love to figure it out. 😉
Have an idea for your home? Send it our way.
We’re always ready for the next custom project.
