Hollister Credenza

Jory Brigham

Crafted from a solid body of walnut, the Hollister is designed to showcase the soul of the material itself. It’s namesake alludes to the “Nine Sisters” of central California, a chain of nine volcanic peaks created over 20 million years ago.

Historical significance is not lost in this piece, as Jory’s central inspiration in creating the Hollister was to design around the character of the walnut. “I’m really drawn toward bringing out the characteristics of the wood in my pieces,” Jory elaborates. With the Hollister, it was unnecessary to add much color or get too carried away with lines that conflict with the natural beauty of the walnut. Every opportunity is taken to accentuate the grain and highlight every organic detail within the wood itself.

Reviews:

I really enjoyed this project. I’ve been woodworking for less than two years, and as recent retiree, I wanted to fill my time with an endeavour that not only rewarded me with beautiful pieces of furniture, but also learn different techniques, and also how to overcome what I like to call ooopsies. The time spent milling the raw wood and seeing progress to its completion gives me an appreciation for something that honestly I never thought could ever achieve. This is my second build in Jory’s line of furniture items. The other being the Hank chair. I love the way Jory goes about explaining the build the way he goes about building it and encouraging you to take try different ways to achieve the same result, or as he sometimes says, maybe even better. My hobby has now turned into a passion. Thank you for that!
