Alder Cubes

Most woodworkers like the look and feel of wood. Most of us work with boards and sheet goods. Designer Brent Comber pushes the envelope a bit with several of his designs, but if you love wood, you'll love his work.
The photo shows Alder Cubes, pieces of Alder wood with dark resin in between. I think they're primarily design as seating for art galleries or lobbies of large buildings. The designer says:

I have always loved the spaces created between the trees in a forest. I was inspired by the positive and negative shapes and the play of light against dark.
His website has several interesting and beautiful designs. Don't miss the "Shattered" collection of Douglas Fir.
