This is the fifth and last piece made in 2021 with this design and the only one with an elongated format.
This design is always built with different woods, being sold as a unique piece identifiable through its grain, recognizable in the archival photographic references that the author makes of each piece and shows on this website. An unambiguous form of identification.
This piece is only sold upon request. Given the complexity of its execution, it may take a minimum of four weeks to finish and deliver.
For any questions or concerns, please contact the author.
This piece is shipped in a cardboard box, protected inside with extra-firm foam (density 40 kg per cubic meter) and outside with plastic protection.
I recommend not exposing this piece to direct sunlight, or high temperatures or places with high humidity: solid wood is a living and delicate material that must be protected. If necessary, any dust that may accumulate can be removed with a soft brush. The piece was only polished with natural wax: it does not contain varnishes or dyes.
The piece has a built-in hanger on the back (it does not appear in the photograph), in case you want to hang it on a wall.
