“Tusk”

Madrone, Mahogany, Maple

This vanity is the second piece I made during my time studying at the Krenov School of Fine Furniture. For materials I chose madrone burl, cuban mahogany, Port Orford cedar, and maple. Aesthetically I was inspired both by the material chosen, and by the work of James Krenov. I wanted the piece to act as a display for the natural beauty of the madrone burl. Additionally this piece represents an ambitious venture in my journey as a crafts person both in scale and technique. In it we can se the first instances of my experimenting with veneering, bent lamination, hardware making, and advanced finishing techniques.
