The timber for this piece originally started out intended for a Shaker stool. However, as I chased tearout while planing the boards to thickness, they became too thin for that build. I held onto them, unwilling to waste the striking contrast between the olive heartwood and pale sapwood of the ash.
Eventually I found time to bring those boards together into this hallway shoe rack, elevated by Gothic trefoils pierced and carved into the sides—bringing a quiet architectural detail into the home without feeling overworked.
