Turned Table
‘Square joints for round dowels’
A project which developed through an admiration of the process of turning on the lathe. A new joint is discovered through keeping the square sections which are so often disregarded, to be turned into something round or cut off.
Keeping the original square in the lengths of wood allows for a point of reference, a datum and flat planes to work around - this encourages a natural joining point. The curvature and kept square section are identical on all spindles. The joint retains rudimentary craft principles, yet poses as a complex seeming connection - where spindles mould and flow into one another.
