Making of Cedar side tables

I had a deadline to work towards for these two Cedar side tables. Nora wanted to include them in our ON THE EDGE exhibition which is opening on 10 June, so with the drawings done and materials ready, I got to work. I worked on these in between other projects for a two months. I decided to use the client’s white cedar for the main structure, with a leg detail in blackbean, and huon pine for the tiles. The design is simple without unnecessary detail in the form, as I want the timbers to be the focus of the design.
