It is an adulation to the original pine wood pieces founded in Valldaura. There were three different colors of woods founded, all from the same tree and they are displayed as a single element. AU NATURALE The intent was to show wood in its natural state, avoiding to cut the bark and making as minimum cuts as possible. Its irregularity in shape is beautiful and the goal was to display the natural magnificence of the wood.
inspiration
wood selection The wood selected is Pine. Valldaura sourrounded by pine trees, since it has the right weather conditions, a lot of sun. Pine wood is used a lot in the making of carpentry, floors and construction because is a really strong wood and has over 120 different species.

Since our intention was to mantain the original characteristics of the tree, we avoid any harsh intervation of the pieces, and kept the original value of each.
lessons learned 1.
The colors of the wood did not meant they were different types, it just shows how old they are old, or that they were from different trees.
2.
Is hard to work with rotten wood, it kept braking and chipping.
3. It was really hard to conect the tree pieces together, the dowel system needs to be super exact for them to match.
4.
The glue should be done 24 h, before the presantation.
5.
Cutting the angles and making them precise.
6.
Depending on the type of wood you are using, you should use different tools.
7.
Measure! Measure! Measure! .... Then... CUT!
