memory lane #2 Fine Woodworking #117

We Traveled Rivers. Doug Stowe built this reading table on commission for a traveling exhibit on Arkansas literary history. The piece features Arkansas Ozark sugar maple, loose rocks Stowe collected himself, and a center-gap design that accommodates seasonal wood movement. Stowe finished the piece with Deft Danish oil and added a top coat of satin polyurethane spray. The work was first featured in FWW 117.
