Kachemak Bay

a console table in spalted beech and English walnut

console table by Grant Sonnex - furniture designer and maker

On a damp low-clouded day in 2008 I was waiting in Homer, Alaska for a flight to go bear-watching, (yes, I do know how lucky I was!),but we couldn’t fly because of the weather and I spent my time drawing and painting among the driftwood on the beach, looking out across Kachemak Bay.2 years later I found this board of spalted English Beech whose figuring reminded me so much of that view. After many designs for this piece which I felt were over-complicated I arrived at this one, whose simplicity I hope suggests enough of beach and water to let the wood tell the rest of the story.
