Cantabrigian Highboy, 2009

Found plywood, found specimens trays (pine), reclaimed walnut legs, birch, maple.
This piece is featured in Mind & Hand: Contemporary Studio Furniture, Schiffer Publishing, 2012.

For the drawers I used found museum specimens trays scraped from the Harvard Museum of Natural History, adding to them a false-front made from discarded hardware signage stock from our local Rockler store. Next I encapsulated  the drawers in a drawer compartment made of found plywood from the Harvard Graduate school of design. 
I installed the drawer compartment on a base made from restored sewing machine legs connected together with new aprons that I built from the discarded remains of Eliot House students’ desks. I cut the University emblem from the broken back of a Harvard Chair and placed  it in the front of the new piece’s lid. The piece was then finished using black milk paint.
