Welcome to Medullary Ray

Buy now  seats 8 comfortably, 41" wide, 85 3/4" long 29" high. Made from re-purposed fir floor beams, Jatoba, American Cherry, Walnut and Quarter-sawn fir. A good friend recently told me that when she worked in an Art Museum she met a collector who said that he really wanted to collect art so he created one by NEVER GOING OUT TO EAT. Never. All that money he saved and spent on ART. Well, this table is perfect for someone like him. And I would think he would be very happy to use a part of his collection! This is not just any dining room table! This is a piece of art waiting to inspire you each day. I'm not sure how the idea began but I was starting to mill some fir beams that I had removed from my house thinking I would make a workbench. I assumed they would be similar to the 4 x 4's that we buy today with wide grain. As I began milling and inspecting each one I soon realized that I had enough fine wood to make an interesting table. Then somehow, perhaps...

Yesterday as I was painting I came to a wall where I had installed two beautiful coat racks. I made them out of scraps of Jatoba and Wengé . They are so rich in color and more beautiful and well made than anything in that room. I couldn’t just paint the wall off white. I consulted with our in house artist, Megan, and we chose a rich color to accent the racks.  When you surround yourself with beautiful woods skillfully designed and built cabinets, furniture and more, you will naturally want to extend their vibrancy into other aspects of your home. I think this is further evidence that our surroundings have a profound effect on our spirit , which in turn supports our ability to live and work creatively. Hire me to build your next project!
