Coming up fast.<br /><br />Your thinking on the layer laminates is interesting, I've done this before but not with patterns and only 2 layers, sounds like your thinking in topographical fashion. COOL!! If this helps, we used a thicker color-core laminate as the top layer, to alleviate the black line that would show in the top layer. We did it in a vertical. Your time for patterns may be here.<br /><br />There's a guy Michael Ianonne http://iannonedesign.com/ he takes thin stock and laser cuts the laminate (usually white) then laminates on bambbo or kieray(sp?) Check out his site.<br /><br />COOL Mike......see you soon...NeilNeil....a Furnitologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06867355014098070527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316525067389025848.post-91126193318419188942011-01-25T08:16:31.782-08:002011-01-25T08:16:31.782-08:00Hi Neil,
Well, you have grabbed my attention with...Hi Neil,<br /><br />Well, you have grabbed my attention with this post. I can not quite make out what you are doing from the pictures but it appears that you have inset contrasting veneers into one another. As a woodworker who is always expanding my base of knowledge I can relate to the experience of learning a new technique which in turn opens the mind to a myriad of new design possibilities. In fact, I have been toying around with a similar concept which involves contrasting veneers or laminates. My idea, which has probably already been done before, is to cut patterns/designs in the upper laminate layers with a contrasting colored laminate layer in the middle. As the piece is made of laminates it could be bent and curved to create various forms. The contrasting layers could mimic or create the illusion of space. <br /><br />I have taken inspiration from your projects and from learning new techniques from these projects (lingerie chest/vacuum press veneering and Carlo Mollino/bent lamination). In other words, through learning new techniques it has opened my mind to new design possibilities. As a home woodworker I am trying to do my part in experimenting with new ideas (at least ideas that are new to me). Now if I can just get the Honey-dos wrapped up I can spend more time in my work shop laboratory making saw dust. <br /><br />Hope to see you at the Wood Expo in February.<br /><br />Mike<br /><br />Medford, MAMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446867319363198040noreply@blogger.com
