“Abstract Expressionism™ in Furniture 1”

We designed this piece to be functional while at the same time we wanted the maple veneer to act as a freshly gessoed canvas and our inlayed wood to be the paint on that canvas representing the “Abstract Expressionism” movement of the 1940’s and 1950’s.  The wood used in the construction of the piece is all “old stock,” so it is considered to follow Leed Building Practices, Green Practices, and Best Practices.

Materials: Locally Harvested figured hard and soft maple and a combination of “old stock” and small fragments of exotic hardwoods specially cut into 1/8” veneer to include: Macassar Ebony Diospyrus ebenum, Bocote Cordia , Indonesian Rosewood Dalbergia latifolia, Black and White Ebony  Diospyros embryopteris, Honduran Rosewood Dalbergia latifolia, Goncalo Alves Astronium graveoles, Ziricote Cordia dodecandra, East Indian Rosewood Dalbergia latifolia, Bubinga Guibourtia demeusei, European cherry  Prunus avium, and Ceylon Ebony Diospyros ebenum.
