3 heirloom objects crafted with quality materials and designed to have the emotional durability to last and to be passed down generations.
One ladder I kept for myself, one I gave to a friend, and the third is given to Contemporary Craft to be auctioned off for someone else to enjoy.
Materials: walnut, plywood, rice paper, twill, oil, wood glue
Tools: router, table saw
The Materials
The materials worked together to elevate each other. The plywood, known for how cheap it is, looks like a stone inlay in this context. The dark walnut contrasted against the rice paper helps draw attention to the fans as they tumble down.
Previous Experiments

Final Three Objects
The wood creates a satisfying clacking sound as the blocks tumble down
