MAGNITUDE & BOND
I used elm and oak cast with epoxy resin to create a dynamic surface. The hexagonal design was cut using a CNC router for precision. To enhance the organic geometry, I carefully positioned the wood grain to flow with the resin, emphasizing the natural patterns of the elm and oak to enhance the visual interaction between the wood and resin; between organic and geometric.
After casting, the epoxy cured to ensure a seamless bond. The surface then underwent extensive rounds of fine sanding and polishing to achieve a smooth, high-gloss finish that plays off the visual interactions between wood, resin, and geometry.
To complement this, the legs were MIG welded from mild steel for durability and to echo the hexagonal pattern. This process blends handcraftsmanship with mechanization, utilizing CNC routers, sanders, polishers, and welding tools.
