Sideboard made of red sandalwood that I obtained in 1984. I designed this with the image of the red sandalwood tree growing in a monsoon forest.
The doors and the countertop have very rare wood grain for red sandalwood.

Techniques Used
Wood joinery
In wood joinery (sashimono), wood boards are cut into panels with care to how the grain patterns will fit together in the final piece. The wooden panels are then cut or carved to create interlocking joints. These joints, which are the key feature of wood joinery, make it possible to connect boards at right angles to produce boxes and other articles. Wood joinery is assembled without the use of nails or any other metal hardware.
