Small Plyboo Desk and "Carved" Pictures



These were commissioned by a customer who wanted to add color and "carved wood" nature themes to a stark office setting. I used a Shopsmith scroll saw to cut out the bonsai from oak plywood, but the larger walnut bird pictures had to be carved with a CNC router table. I'll be doing a third set, larger than the others but with a mirror background. The desk is a smaller version of their reception desk, with laminated Plyboo legs and a galvanized steel sheet face. The beveled edge reveals more of the inner vertical layers of bamboo plywood.
