| Yes, I did do something like that once but I didn't take notes and can't remember offhand how I did it. I do know that you should soak the cane first for 20-30 minutes so that it's softer and won't crack when you bend it. Also, look at the nodes and make sure you're not pulling it against the grain. The cane expands in length a tiny bit when wet so you can leave a little slack in it. It will tighten up when it dries. | |||||

| There's no way AJ did that ? ... There's no way AJ did that ? the tools they had at hand didn't permit it, his sense of design would nevertheless have prohibited doing anything of this sort ? Had the seller said they are by Verner Panton, I would believe that he or she was in good faith, but to claim they are by Jacobsen is a scam, and it requires proof thereof. Sorry. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/510173464008713214/ | |||||
| Thanks, Heath -- I really | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Thanks, Heath -- I really enjoyed those videos. And I learned more about how woodblock prints are made by the Japanese; it is not often we see blocks being carved and prints taken. (I wonder why, when the issue of the direction the boats are moving in Hokusai's print was discussed, the narration didn't return to the fact that the original drawing is placed face down on the block, prior to carving . . .) Also, we learn of the importation of Prussian Blue at the time he was working. The blues in modern Japanese prints are important to me. Here is a thread ... | |||||
| Photos would be helpful.... | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Photos would be helpful.... but yes, Aasbjerg did use teak veneer upon occasssion, in the first few years of Ex. Furn. Co. there were more veneer items. This 1960 catalog represents the transition from veneer as the "danish norm" to Aasbjerg's solid teak period. In this catalog there are a number of pieces that are veneer only or optionally. Notably to you, the wall unit, (which I've never seen a specimen of) is advertised as veneer only. I have a couple of Aasbjerg's designs executed in veneer. It was very surprising to me that he used a lumbercore subs ... | |||||

| ... restoration who certainly knew the importance of making the new one exactly like the original. But he didn't make it like the original at all. It was significantly off in at least two ways and was also made too narrow and then pine strips were added to the sides to make it wider. And that was after 10 months of waiting for it. And that is my only Japan chair story. That was a couple of years ago and I still feel sad for that chair. | |||||
| hmm... | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | muehlebach | General discussion | |
| hmm... Interesting theory. I'd guess that the name probably just didn't occur to McCobb to call it Origami. How much control do you think he had over naming his furniture? Very few of his furniture pieces had any actual names to them. | |||||

| ... for me, because while they can receive full side-to-side-grain contact in the rail, they get only cross-grain gluing in the leg -- where their penetration is often shortened by the slight dimension of the leg, making a bad situation worse. But in a chair like this one there isn't much alternative; two tenons would be unacceptably short unless they were held to the very outside of the rails -- not an option with a cylindrical leg ? (In a chair like this one, and many others, the side plane has a full rectangle of members to reinforce each other, as does the ... | |||||
| I Googled | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| I Googled "plycraft lounger" and looked at Images. Hundreds of Eames lounger knock-offs, but didn't see a base like yours. So, I don't know . . . The wrapped shape of the seat shell at the bottom, is also unusual, I think. | |||||
| awesome find jesgord | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| awesome find jesgord Was that desk meant as a "stand alone" model, or was it one part of the two part office unit? I recall another big part to this (office?) design, that completed an "L" configuration. Either way, it is a great and very rare find. I love the plywood edge, which most of the early desk designs didn't have. Congratulations. | |||||

| Thanks BJ! | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Gustavo | General discussion | |
| Thanks BJ! Hi BJ: Thanks for all the info! Very useful. I didn?t know before about Sablon and Rue Dansaert. I already put it in the list. I heard great things about Ghent (perhaps less tourists than in Brujas). Anyway so much to do there and in Brussels, will have to come back. I'll reserve a drink for the next time! ps: update 2 How do you say 'vuelo cancelado' in english? Haha. I was going to be today Saturday and tomorrow Sunday. But I'll finally arrive tomorrow Sunday. I would be at the Brussels Design Market at about 15.00hs. | |||||
| Clarification. | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| Clarification. I didn't mean to recommend using walnut oil on furniture. Quite the opposite. I meant it to illustrate the confusing array of options and opinions out there. Watco natural is my go-to "Danish" oil finish. It does darken wood somewhat and imparts a slightly amber color, but I've found it to be at least as good as other similar products. It can also easily be custom-tinted with artist's oils, if desired. I'd probably go natural for the first application. You can always pump it up with the next if you're not happy with the results. Pigmented Watc ... | |||||
| Many thanks | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | bishopridley | General discussion | |
| Many thanks Many thanks... My first thought was that it might be Frem Røjle as well, but my internet searches didn't throw up anything. It would be very exciting if this was a Kurt Olsen, but at the same time I'm prepared to accept this as one of the many great pieces out there without a named designer. Just goes to show how much there still is to discover out there! | |||||
