Kidney Shaped Desk

The precise dimensions of this desk are founded in ancient Chinese Feng Shui texts as being conducive for attracting wealth, prosperity, nobility and integ­rity into one’s life. The shape and proportion of the kidney-shaped top is also consistent with the spiritually-based sacred design system of the Vastu Shastra, which is itself derived from the Vedic tradition in India. www.wiggersfurniture.com

The story of this cabinet involves a woman, as so many stories do. A woman I was fond of had a dried dragonfly, so I thought I would make a case to display it. As things go, the design became more involved, morphing from a simple box to a case with legs. I built a maquette and was pleased with the direction the case was taking. A few mock-ups helped
get the overall size and proportions settled and I was off.

Cherry
Jim was going to have Eileen hand-paint three images of Alberta scenes. However, after sealing the piece they decided to just let the grain of the cherry do the talking. The piece is finished with wipe-on poly.
