Would Knot
Lambert cypress (Cypressus lambertiana)
540 x 180 x 240mm, Two cavities, each
100 x 50 x 40mm
Method
of construction: Chisel carved
Finish: Shellac
Concept:
My objective was to tie a knot in a piece
of wood. This was achieved by carving
a reef knot from a piece of cypress 460
x 120 x 200mm. A 50mm piece from the base
of the knot is removable and the knot
is set into another block of cypress 180
x 70 x 440mm, so that the knot can ‘untie’,
thus revealing a recessed cavity at either
end, measuring 100 x 50 x 40mm. When the
knot is closed, the cavity is concealed
providing two hidden ‘boxes’.
