Sapele slab bench

This lone piece of Sapele was found in the scrap bin of a Cornish timber yard. In its raw state, it required very little dimensioning to bring it to the correct length, width and thickness. One of our earlier commissions, it was made for a Cornish client with an appreciation for timber and artful detail. We built the marquetry pattern, dropping it into the bench's top face, arranged so as to suggest notions of an aerial view. An orange incursion refers to boundaries found within maps.
