This bedhead was commissioned as a wedding present for a modern outdoors lifestyle couple. Their house was on a vast expanse of land surrounded by native bush. The bride selected from several source books her favorite Australian Native flowers.
The Australian Natives Bedhead is made of two strikingly different backboard veneers – Queensland Black Bean and Silver Ash. These have been biscuit-jointed to give a flowing yet colorful effect to the overall design.
Each flower, leave and stem has been hand-cut from many types of veneers and applied. This technique is known as marquetry. The colors and grains vary from pure whites of the Ghost Gum; to the almost blacks of Wenge and Ebano; and fiery reds of Mahogany, Padouk and RiverGum as well as traversing a range of yellows, browns and greys … excitingly beautiful !!
The collection of flowers include: Sturt Desert Pea, Native Daisy, Geraldton Wax, Calyatrix, Eucalyptus and Flannel Flowers. Added to this is a dragonfly and white moth.
Finally the Australian Natives bedhead is finished a timber sealant to draw out the wonderful timber colors into rich tones whilst providing a smooth finish and ability to clean.
