Rather than bending the wood to create the height variation, which would produce a consistent grain pattern, we chose to machine each piece out of solid 1” thick piece of cherry. Machining them on their side exposed many variations in the piece as the curves shift between end and edge grain and allowed for over three inches of height variation. An extra chamfer detail was added to thin the components relative to their distance from the wall to add transparency. Each part was machine sanded, polished, chemically aged, and sealed. They were installed individually into preset tracks mounted to the wall, allowing for the piece to be installed upside down or mirrored and exposing the existing wall beyond.
