I built this while I was studying with Brian Reid (www.brianreidfurniture.com) at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Maine. The two posts are 107 layers of veneer that were pressed into a curved form, and after drying, I cut straight pieces through them. The frame itself is bleached ash, and the top curve is steam bent, ebonized oak.
Thanks for looking!

This is certainly an innovative piece of artistic furniture. Never, in my wildest woodworking dreams, would I have imagined something like this- probably due to my being “artistically challenged”. This piece is not simply furniture as it is more artwork. I love the curves and the ebonized oak is accentuated by the bleached ash. But the veneer glue-ups are simply gorgeous. Enough said.
Great Post!!!!!!!

Very cool. I love the veneer stacks, I was trying to figure out what kind of exotic wood that was. Looks like zebra wood on steroids.

Serious mirror and 107 layers means it was quite time consuming. Great job!

I like it. It’s something different and that’s always good.
how did you arrive at 107 layers?
I thinking that’s where you ran out of wood. <g>
