SAP ARMCHAIR, 2024
RED CEDAR, PINE SAP, SALVAGED ALUMINUM
24H X 24W X 24D INCHES
MADE FROM SLABS OF WINDTHROW CEDAR FELLED NATURALLY BY WINDSTORMS AND SALVAGED ALUMINUM, THIS ROUGH CUT ARMCHAIR HEARKENS BACK TO THE ANCIENT TECHNIQUES OF HARNESSING TREE SAP (PURE PINE RESIN) AS A NATURAL GLUE, HARVESTING TREES THAT HAVE BEEN UPROOTED BY HEAVY WINDS, AND COLLECTING, REPURPOSING, AND REWORKING METAL TO BE USED AGAIN.
MINDFUL TO USE EVERY PART OF THE SLAB, DOWELS WERE CARVED BY HAND FROM OFFCUTS AND IMPLEMENTED DISCREETLY AT ITS VARIOUS JOINTS FOR ENHANCED STABILITY.
THE TREE FROM WHICH THESE SLABS CAME IS BELIEVED TO BE OVER 300 YEARS OLD BASED ON GROWTH RINGS.
INSTEAD OF KILN DRYING, THE WOOD WAS AIR-DRIED RIVERSIDE ON THE SHORES OF THE MAMQUAM BLIND CHANNEL IN SQUAMISH, BRITISH COLUMBIA.
THE CUSHION IS MADE OF HEAVY, UN-DYED 18 OZ ORGANIC COTTON AND HEMP CANVAS WITH ORGANIC COTTON (GINNED IN TEXAS) AND CEDAR SHAVING FILL - SHAVINGS SALVAGED DURING THE PLANING OF THE WINDTHROW SLABS.
