Working with what’s already there.
Every object begins with a decision about a piece. This material study considers the meeting of pale sapwood and darker heartwood, and the direction already present in the grain.
Rather than impose a standard rectangle, the design starts with the usable surface and works inward. A future desk or top would be developed from the measurements and condition of a real slab.
This is an AI-generated material illustration, not a slab offered for sale. Source, species identification and dimensions require a real piece and its Wood Passport.
