Contemporary Walnut Barn Door || Modern Design
Переглядів 775Рік тому
This contemporary Sliding Barn Door in Walnut was part of a larger kitchen project involving a Dining Table, Breakfast Bar, Bar Stools & Glazed Interior Doors - all in solid walnut! Great project, but I thought the build of this sliding barn door was the most interesting build video... This was the only build that was not all solid stock, mainly to reduce the weight! Using real timber veneers o...

The concept for this piece came from the client's interior designer - a black, four-poster bed centralised on a large window...the client wanted texture & interest, so I designed a tapered post, with chamfered edges. The key to the design was the power carved texture of the headboard & footboard. The timber was Ash & the black paint was a milk paint with a hard wax oil top coat. The milk paint ...
The GANIVET Desk || Bedroom Vanity Desk

The GANIVET Desk is a concept design I worked on while away in Barcelona on a chef knife course. I tried to design legs for a desk that would represent the blade of a knife, but instead of the legs themselves, I used the negative space on the inside of the legs to capture the blade shape. I named the design "Ganivet" as that is Catalan for Knife... This piece is actually part of a bedroom suite...

A Kitchen Sideboard or Credenza made with a Spalted Beech surround & mitred waterfall joinery. The orginal slab of spalted beech already had a waney edge on one side, but I carved a "live edge" the other way as I preferred the underside of the slab for the show side. I used the Arbortech Turbo Plane to carve the edge, before sanding smooth... The internal cabinetry & drawers are made from Balti...

    How'd these hold up, have they sagged? Also have you done anything to weatherproof round the sides and between upper and lower doors given you've insulated the door itself?

    Really beautiful set. I didn’t realize till the end you were using a laser level to help guide the angled drilling. Clever. Also, how do you line your laser pecker? I’ve been thinking of getting one for engraving my furniture

    • @DeerRiverCraftsman

      Yup the laser level for aligning drilling is a nice trick! LaserPecker 2 is perfect for woodworkers doing small engravings, particularly makers mark! Many thanks!

    Thanks for sharing. I liked the rod as a mid-rail to prevent the front and back rail from warping towards the centre of the bench. The tension of the cords would prob do it at some point. Well done.

    These seem more like Shaker style than MCM. Was it inspired by a certain craftsperson's chairs?

    • @DeerRiverCraftsman
      @DeerRiverCraftsman 3 місяці тому

      Agreed, these were based on Welsh Stick Chairs I've made which are much more of the Shaker era, but designers like Ercol adapted them to a modern aesthetic in the mid century modern period...I used the Shaker style joinery of through wedged tenons on the legs & armrests...they were designed to be a contraction of both!
