7 x 6 She Oak / Wenge
This is a technique I have been playing with, and I feel this my best execution of it so far. There are some technical challenges in clamping and alignment that I feel I am overcoming.
Rather then classical staves, I first turn the body then deconstruct it, add the ribs and reconstruct it. I prefer this method as it allows the grain from the wood of the body to follow through the ribs.
My goal here was to have the two shapes create a nice contrast, yet each retain it's own individual form.
c&c's welcome
