Exotic Wood Veneer Parquet: A Tree's Cross-Section Unfolded

A wall or a door panel made of rare wood veneer marquetry in a radial pattern: dozens of thin wood veneers from the same burl, sequentially sliced and arranged in a fan or sunburst pattern, so the grain radiates continuously outwards from the center, like an open flower. The wood species is burl wood with strong burl patterns, with alternating light and dark colors. The seams are hand-aligned to be almost invisible. The surface is coated with multiple layers of hand-brushed lacquer and polished, presenting a deep semi-gloss finish that reveals the layers of the grain. The edges are finished with extremely thin brass strips. Close-up, oblique view. Avoid: using printed imitation wood grain, discontinuous grain joints, pieces cut into equal parts by machine, applying high-gloss lacquer to the surface.

一面牆或一片門扇以珍稀木皮拼成放射狀的圖案:數十片來自同一棵樹瘤的薄木皮,依序剖開後以扇形或太陽狀排列,因此紋理從中心向外連續放射,像一朵展開的花。木種是有強烈瘤紋的樹瘤材,顏色深淺交錯。拼縫以手工對齊到幾乎看不見。表面上多道手工刷塗的漆並研磨,呈現深邃的半光澤,可以看見紋理的層次。周邊以極細的黃銅條收邊。近距離斜視。避免:使用印刷的仿木紋、紋理不連續對接、拼片以機器等分切割、表面上高光亮漆。
