Corduroy, 2002

reclaimed fir.

I built this stool from four short (but hefty) beams of Douglas fir. I use discarded wood and found objects in most of my pieces, and so when I saw the beams in the waste box of a high school's woodworking shop, I decided to grant them new life as a stool. The beams are arranged together as a “bouquet”. Each of the four legs became one fourth of the stool’s seat. An important feature of the stool is its crosscut end-grain pattern that creates a mesmerizing psychedelic effect of rings and arches.
