Details…….These are here just for fun. I often find details more interesting than the whole. Out of context details can generate completely new ideas, and the close-up, deconstructed views give focus to the woods, joinery and shapes. Each image here is labeled with its wood type, so that you may note the different colors and textures inherent in each species. The selective views of joinery highlight the essential engineering specific to wood construction, and the shapes singled out form a vocabulary with which new designs are developed. It’s always valuable to look closely in order to really understand.
