Iwasaki’s Ray Shelf is beautiful and useful and really lets the incredible piece of black walnut shine.
As I’ve mentioned in earlier posts, I love when furniture makers take scraps and turn them into beautiful objects. Iwasaki uses a lot of salvaged and reclaimed wood for his work. Check out his Spare Time Clocks as a great example of how, with a little creativity, remnants can become useful art. It really makes me think about what I’ve got sitting around in my shop that I could make into something cool.
