Warp & Weft III - Linen Cabinet

A Mid Century Modern, handcrafted oak Linen Cabinet with woven wood door panels. Based on the original Warp & Weft design but rotated by 90 degress to make a tall portrait cabinet.

The cabinet is made from a pair of brown oak boards full of character figure and strong grain patterns. Careful timber selection and precise woodworking skills emphasise the beauty of Scottish Hardwoods. This allows the wood grain to flow around the cabinet in a seamless pattern. Light coloured straight grained ash has been used for the doors and interior panels. The calmer ash compliments and balances the wild grain of the oak.

The door panels are a combination of sawn ash slats and smooth brass rods. The woven weft slats are cut from a single piece of ash. Arranged in order they show the transition of grain pattern and tone from light to pale peach. The smooth brass rod warps contrast with the sawn texture of the ash slats. The result is a repeating series of precise shadow lines across the panels. Traditional cabinet hinges and pegs in the base frame add more brass details.

The finishing touch is provided by a pair of burr oak handles which add an element of natural edge to the piece.
