Beatrix Baker
Knotty Cabinet
English Elm, Birdseye Maple, Western Maple, Mountain Mahogany
This piece is a response to the brief ‘small, simple, solid and sweet’. The coopered, solid elm doors were the starting point for this cabinet. The other details – the shape of the carcass, the carved top rails and sweeping edges were not preplanned and all emerged during the making.
