bookcase · cherry

This bookcase was designed with my wife's style in mind. She must have good taste because we get a lot of complements on it. Despite being replete with rectangular forms, there isn't a sharp corner in sight. 

Cherry ages beautifully over time as tannins in the wood oxidize and a deep, ruddy glow emerges. It's a joy to watch. A lot of the darkening process takes place in the first six months, but the color continues to develop for over a year.
