Curve Appeal

Most projects I design are minimalist modern, however every now and again I love to bring out the French curves and design something with a little bit of that classic wavy elegance. There is a whole different skill-set in setting the visual weights and balances of multiple curves that run together. Much of it is done on the fly with the spoke shave (a blade you sculpt wood with) and heavily relies on artistic intuition/spontaneity. After the dust settles you are left with something much more expressive than the straight stuff. Doing this type of work gives me a renewed sense of tradition in the craft and keeps me well rounded.

This piece in particular will get a gently curved drawer face and a light white wash to give it a fresh up to date look.
