display shelf photos












The display shelf project is finished. Just to recap on the project, Tetsushi designed the shelf and I designed the flower motifs. The client requested that each of the shelf doors represent spring, summer, fall and winter. I chose to use cherry blossom, lily, chrysanthemum, and camellia for the flowers. Then Kanegae-san, a marquetry expert, crafted the panel doors based on my drawings. I am very happy with the outcome. Kanegae-san stayed very true to my design and his craftsmanship is excellent. Tetsushi designed the shelf for the client and Suetsugu-san, an excellent wood craftsmen built it. You can see some of his process pictures on his blog at sun set laboratory. It has been a great experience working with everyone. Thanks for all for the hard work!
