A Santa Cruz Avenue Dining Gem: The Custom Black Walnut Epoxy Table by JAMES Sullivan
Nestled in the charming enclave of Los Gatos, California, along Santa Cruz Avenue, a home has been elevated by a showstopping piece of functional art: the Custom Black Walnut Epoxy Table designed for JAMES Sullivan. More than just a dining table, this creation is a testament to craftsmanship, local style, and the seamless blend of nature and modernity—perfect for the eclectic, warm aesthetic of a Los Gatos residence.
The Table: Where Rustic Soul Meets Modern Edge
Crafted from rich, dark-hued Black Walnut, the table’s organic grain patterns are accentuated by a glossy epoxy river that runs through its center—an element that adds depth, contrast, and a touch of sleek, contemporary design. The bold black metal base provides structural stability while complementing the wood’s warmth, creating a striking visual harmony. Every curve of the live-edge top and every detail of the epoxy inlay speaks to the artistry behind this custom piece, making it a focal point that commands attention (and admiration) in any space.
JAMES Sullivan’s Vision: Dining as an Experience
For JAMES, this table isn’t merely furniture—it’s the heart of his home.

Its placement in a room with rich leather chairs, a rustic console, and lush greenery (echoing the natural beauty of Los Gatos) creates a cohesive, inviting atmosphere—one that feels both sophisticated and deeply personal.
