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.
These are so beautiful! (And efficient!) The mirrored birds are definitely my favorite. Would you interested in contributing these photos to Plyboo's image library? We love being able to showcase new and interesting uses of our products. Let me know! (michelle@plyboo.com)
