| Remembrance table |
The first album, which was made by another artist, is about his son who died much to young.
The second album, which I made almost completely out of wood, is about the mother who died only a few years after she lost her son.
The legs and the top of the table are made of Yew.
The "static drawers" are made of Maple.
The photo albums fit nicely inside the drawers :
The book cover is made of Ash veneer on Birch multiplex in an Ebony frame.
The hinges are also made of Ebony and the pages are bound together with a string of which the 2 ends are kept together with a token that is made after a piece of jewelry that the mother liked to wear.
Every wooden page has a lip, which is veneered with blue dyed wood, to make it easy to flip the pages.
Here you see that the pages are connected to each other with blue suede.
On the first page there is a silhouette of the mother in the same blue suede that I used for different items of this book. This blue color was one of the favorite colors of the mother.
The silhouette was first cut out of the VAVONA BURL veneer and the veneer and suede were glued onto a Birch multiplex page.
On the last page a drawing of the mother made by herself a few years ago.
On the next photo's you have a good view on how the book was bound and onto the separate pages.
The pages are made of birch multiplex onto which a frame of maple is attached. Every photo is pushed in from the outside of the page between the page and the frame so it will stay put under the frame.
The last photo's give an overall impression of the album.
For privacy reasons the photo's are covered by a blank piece of paper.
Note from the client :
I would like to mention that the result of this project was achieved by a very close and positive cooperation between Allen and myself. We both agree on that.
Furthermore I would like to thank him for his effort.
