This is the junior year woodworking project. Here we learn about joints and bends within woodworking. I intended to do both a kerf bend and tenon joints.
I incorporated Scandinavian and Japanese design trends into the bottom half and heavily took inspiration from Chicago architecture. The following should also infer feelings of surrealism.
On the left is the light box with one of many colors turned on to show the low emission that the lights have, perfect for waking up in the middle of the night and not being adjusted to the light. The box is removable and customizable. As well as being controlled with a remote.
Here are some detailed shots of the piece, Burling side desk. The left photo is of how the legs interact with that bottom board. The board can hold books, papers, a place to store your technology, or anything you can think of.
Going from left to right is the process of how I made the table after I had the initial design sketches done. First, we laser cut out the table and made sure there were notches for the kerf bend. As that was happening, I lathed the legs and stained them. The last two photos on the right are of sanding and assembly!
