The Chocolate Falcon
When I came across this small walnut slab I immediately loved the shape of it, though at first I didn't realize why. As I stared at it over the next year, wondering what to do with it, I finally realized why I liked it so much; it reminded me of the shape of the Millenium Falcon. As a lifelong Star Wars fan I knew whatever I made with it had to pay homage to the fastest ship in the rebel fleet.
This end table is made from black walnut with a small brass accent: 3 brass dowels representing Han, Chewie, and Luke riding in the cockpit. The base is designed to be reminiscent of a stand holding a model of the Falcon. I left it simple to keep the slab as the focal point of the piece.
Dimensions: 35.5" L x 17" W x 17.5" H
