Tables: Making his tables involves a labor-intensive process taking a year or more from beginning to end.
Preparation: Working with wood is a very satisfying endeavor for Roger. He emphasizes the most important part of beginning the process of creating his bowls and tables is drying and stabilizing the green wood. He explains that when wood loses its moisture too fast or at an uneven rate, it will most certainly crack. Roger’s challenge becomes allowing the process to be slow and deliberate and he admits the wood has taught him his own personal process and has showed him the way through many trials and errors.
Table Legs: The fork-limb black walnut branches are cut and dried for table legs from the same wood as the table tops.
