FiveWood by Chris Cook
Original bit-tech Article
My Grandfather, August Cook, and his wife Irma were amazing artists. August was a fantastic craftsman as well.- his works included oil paintings, wood carvings, sculpture and furniture craft. My other grandfather, T.J. Nuckols was a very creative carpenter as well. T.J. (or DD as he was called) always had creative ways to make things from wood.
It is this great gene pool of craftsmanship and creativity that I am abusing here.
This project started on a napkin (well, a sheet of paper anyway). The concept images moved into the third dimension when I took my ideas to Lightwave 3D. This is where I exercise ideas while keeping the dimensions in mind.
While I wanted the entire project to be wood, I was going to be as practical as possible in this regard. The motherboard tray was made from three different types of wood.
Finally, I'd like to note one more thing - no pre-finished boards were used. By pre-finished, I mean that if it was sanded or even shaped into a nice piece we would normally call a board, I didn't touch it. Everything was bought raw, and then I cut to size, sanded and planed every piece you see. Also, there were no screws or nails used - boards were connected with joinery and a bit of glue.
