Gouge-Hollowed Butterfly Wing Panels in Figured Walnut

This one spreads wide. The upper wings draw out into sharp points that reach almost to the corners, and the lower wings drop into full, rounded lobes, giving the whole shape a long horizontal stretch that suits a sofa wall or a broad hallway.

Every opening in the wings is hollowed with a gouge rather than cut straight through, so each one has a bowled floor that catches light and turns it soft. The body is formed from solid wood blocks joined down the center line, then carved so the two wings mirror one another while the grain still runs its own way through each side. The surface is finished to keep that figure on show, dark ribbons of heartwood pulling out toward the wingtips. Each piece is made only after your order comes in.

It ships in sections with the fine wingtips packed and braced, which protects the most vulnerable points and keeps freight from getting out of hand. The parts line up on fixed pins, the instructions cover the sequence in a few short steps, and the mount holds the wings a little off the wall.
