Ties that Bind table
that which makes us different makes us stronger…
the original inspiration - a strange shape I found on the floor in a housing deconstruction
the legs
dee sanding down the legs (in class)
leg detail in process
fitting the frame
corner detail - the strings that hold the table together
the "bird's mouth" corner
ties that bind
This table uses no glue, nails, screws or fasteners of any kind, instead relying on the strings represented by the colors in the LBGT+ flag to hold it together. “that which makes us different makes us stronger”. Diversity - of thought - of geographic background - of sexual preference and even of political persuasion, makes us all stronger and are to be celebrated. This table is in the collection of Western Reserve Academy, in Hudson, Ohio, where I learned this very important lesson.
