Last Thing You Acquired #46  

had to travel for this one but it was a lovely day, the boy was with me, and the Oregon countryside is so lovely
A single slab of California Redwood. No idea as to the vintage but the screws are slotted and domed.
LOOK AT that figuring. It was so even I actually thought it was painted at first.
Needed a cleaning very badly. Worked on it today and it already looks better than it does in the picture.

Good lord, that is one gorgeous slab or redwood. More photos, please.

Hi minimoma.
I had that same B/O system when I was a teenager (15th birthday gift from my folks). Wish that I still had it.
yup,
Aunt Mark

Mark, you are one lucky teenager, the best my parents can give me was a portable boom box by Panasonic and it had the equalizer lights that jumps up and down like a light show in Las Vegas.

Ah heck,
I'm still a teenager..sometimes.
I'm diggin' the thought of the built in Vegas light show. That and a pair of platform shoes, you'd be pimp!
Umm um,
Your Aunt Mark

Here's a pic w/ the sheen of the wet finish. Mesmerizing.

That's a slab of wood that could make a grown man cry.
Yes,
Aunt Mark

Sweet bejebus waffle, that redwood is a thing of beauty!

the thrifting gods are smiling.
Picked up six orange armchairs, one lemon, one light ochre, and a grey sideshell last night.

Grendel: no designer on any of Foster-McDavid's case pieces. Yours seems to be from around 1960. Here you can see a little more of that line. They made chairs and tables also, and those have a named designer...

Wow. I would be seriously tempted to resaw that slab into thin veneers... insane.

thanks Leif, much appreciated!
I propose a hashtag, #daacquired for additional sharing on social media!

I started thinking of Riki when I got the Beate Wedekind Alpine Interiors for Taschen. This is good.

That quilted redwood is one of the most amazing examples I have ever seen. That is an awesome score Waffle!!!! Truly a rare and unique piece.
