This is the first stage of preparing the counter tops – laminating a lovely jade green Formica onto a plywood base. These will be edged in polished aluminium.
The walnut, sand coloured marmoleum and the aluminium skin – great combination.
We are using figured (fiddleback) American walnut throughout. Lightweight plywood panels are veneered to form a strong but lightweight structure for the furniture and interior walls. The oiled finish starts to review the beauty of the veneers and depth of the figuring.
This is the structure for the rear bed which will function as a sofa during the day but will extend to form a double bed.
