This desk featuring veneered tambour was made from black walnut and madrone. My primary objective with this piece was to make the junctions between the tambour staves so seamless that the doors in the gallery appear to be a single piece of wood. When the tambour doors open laterally, the curved track guides them to a concealed pocket behind the gallery. Because the doors present as a single piece of wood, I was able to showcase the incredible “cloud” graphic that occurrs naturally in the madrone. The effect is of sliding doors that disappear when opened, or “magic doors” as they were referred to at a recent exhibition. walnut, madrone, manzanita
