latest project for the backyard:
patio dining table prototype
seats 8 persons comfortably; 10 persons max.
materials:
-[4] 4x4 cedar posts
-24 1x4 cedar slats [one side rough]
-a crap tonne of wood screws
-gorilla wood glue
dimensions:
36" W. x 108" L. x 30" H.
3d exploded axon rendering
the primary goal of the aesthetic is the idea of "zero-ness" by concealing every fastener and connection, as if the table was formed through sculpting or subtraction, rather than an additive process.
the materials were leftover from cedar fence project-> using 4x4 posts as structural support, and 1x4 slats for the table top. the top was conceived as a butcher block construction . the orientation of the boards would be strongest this way, and with spacers to let rain/snow fall through. with just a light sanding to finish there will be no stain or sealer applied, and the wood will turn a silvery-gray with weathering over time.

a profile reminiscent of traditional japanese building forms
[the original aesthetic of minimalism was born out of necessity, not out of fashion]
one third of the table top complete and the chair is for performance testing
that's as far as we got. finalized pics coming soon.
