This great entry/sofa table was made for a customer here in Sarasota, FL with a
true passion for local history. Growing up in the shadow of John Ringling's palatial hotel, she remembered as a
little girl riding her tricycle through the lobby. How truly wonderful to be be able to give back a part of here childhood
with this entry table, made from some of the hotel's salvaged pecky cypress boards, hand-stenciled by artists when the
hotel was built in the 1920's. It is the greatest honor as a woodworker to create something that will be so appreciated
by both her and the generations of her family to come.
