The
client asked for a flow of grain from the front door to the
kitchen entry (out of sight at lower right), and then to
"do something
interesting in the living room and dining room"
(connected). The photo above is taken from the dining room,
looking to the living
room, which has a counter-clockwise grain flow, seeming to
be eminating from the light of both the front door and the
living room windows.
The
left photo is taken in the living room, looking toward the
dining room. The dining room has a clockwise flow of grain
which continues
to turn to the windows of the room. The detail photograph
is near the front door, looking in the direction of the
living room. These
photos were taken soon after installation, with the freshly
sanded and varnished wood showing pale tones. After aging
it has become a deep rich red.
