    Walnut screen with stainless supports

    I designed and made this quarter sawn walnut screen for our new restaurant. The stainless is done by Frank Smart

    High style!! Nice design, and makes me want to see the rest of the restaurant. Mark, do you have enough going on in your life? Architect, builder, furniture designer/craftsman, restauranteur....

    Here the design really makes the piece. Each walnut piece is quarter sawn walnut plywood with a 1 1/2" solid edge. The top and bottom are only 1/4" thick. The edge is shaped to a soft curve in profile, The stainless rods support the plank by drilling into the floor and the ceiling. The panels follow a curve I laid out with a bent long board on the floor

    This is a time I used biscuits in the long sides for alignment

  6. Beautiful work Mark. Do the individual screens pivot or are they fixed? What finish did you use?

    They are fixed, but I have made pivoting screens. The finish is tung oil and wax

    I have been thinking of doing something like this on my wall behind my LCD in family room. Im thinking of hiding the supports behind an just see the wood except from side of course.
    Nice job!

    If your food is half as good as your woodwork and style, your restaurant is sure to be a hit. Thanks for inspiring.
