Partly for waste allowance, but mostly so that I have some left over to play with. This quilted maple was a rare find, so this was the case again, and I wish I had been able to get much more. Quality quilted maple with a consistent, pleasant pattern is more rare than curly maple or birdseye maple. The cherry legs, edging on the top and beading along the curved aprons brings out the warm tan tones in the depth of the quilted pattern. I think it was the most I ever paid for veneer, but worth every penny. Knowing what goes into finding and selecting this kind of wood makes me always wonder why it doesn't cost even more. This pair sold at the opening of my show at the Mad and Noisy Gallery.
