Walnut Boot Bench
This bench challenges the limits of wood through bringing organic forms together in unique ways. I've chosen to use crotch sections in this bench due to their incredible strength and beautiful figure. Utilizing the naturally arched forms of the crotch sections, I've capitalized on a cantilever effect, where the plank rests comfortably between the two ends. The cantilevered space is balanced visually by a recessed seat area which is juxtaposition to the overall bench composition.
