Westport Sidecase

The case of the Westport is constructed of laminated birch substrate with thick white oak veneer. Joined with reinforced mitered corners with continuous grain orientation across the top and down sides. The case is hand-scraped with a white pigment to fill the grain. The inset back is similarly finished allowing the piece to be placed away from a wall. A dovetail on the top back edge, at the location of the internal vertical divider, reveals a detail of the construction.

The pictured version has two bays of adjustable shelving behind two pairs of overlay doors. Doors are ash veneered and finished with durable pigmented conversion varnish to color but not hide the wood's prominent texture. There are finger purchases on the top edge of the doors for opening (see detail picture)

The walnut legs taper inwards on the front, back and outside surfaces creating a distinctively spare sculpted stance.

Dimensions, woods and finishes are customizable; please contact me to discuss. There are also a variety of configurations possible including pullout drawers etc. Refer to my Southport side case for an example of a larger version with some of these options, as well as an example of inset doors and an inverted color/material configuration compared to those shown here.
