THUMBNAIL DRESSER
THUMBNAIL DRESSER
Russian milti-layered plywood
2'x4'x8'
2010

My clients often include the finest exotic veneers in their specifications when ordering furniture, which requires me to first build a stable plywood sub-straight to build upon. I am left with loads of scrap and the desire to create furniture that relies upon texture more than finish for a special kick. This dresser was created for my bedroom using only Russian ply as a decorative element, and indents into the plywood that resemble a fingernail print left in wet clay as drawer pulls. It is viewed here still on my work bench.
