Here is a follow-up to the story in our last issue on the prehype<br />
buzz for Ferruccio Laviani’s Good Vibration cabinet that<br />
debuted at Spring’s Salone del Mobile design fair in Milan, Italy.<br />
The finished piece certainly has the vibe of the publicity picture.<br />
MUSIC WIth A WooD tone<br />
This is not likely to become a big seller, but Amanda Ghassaei<br />
of instructables.com has created the first laser-cut wooden record<br />
out of Maple (right). Using an Epilog 120 Watt Legend EXT, the<br />
laser cuts at approximately 120 dpi, and the sampling rate is 4.5<br />
KHz. Since the grooves are 10 times the width of a vinyl LP, each<br />
side can hold only 3 minutes of recording. Songs are recognizable,<br />
but it might make a better decorative sculpture instead.<br />
MoSer ChAIrS At the bUSh LIbrArY<br />
The Harpswell Chair, by Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers was<br />
front stage at the opening of the George W. Bush Library and Museum,<br />
located in Dallas, TX. A set of the American Black Cherry<br />
chairs provided seating for the five living<br />
American Presidents and their spouses, at<br />
last April’s Dedication Ceremony. The furnituremaker<br />
in Auburn, ME was commissioned<br />
to make about 60 pieces for the complex,<br />
including 20 Harpswell chairs, 15 research<br />
desks, 12 benches, eight conference room<br />
tables, and a large proctor’s desk.<br />
Kittinger Furniture Co. of Buffalo, NY<br />
was given the task of recreating the furnishings<br />
for the Library’s replication of the Oval<br />
Office. They also were commissioned to create furnishings for the<br />
new movie White House Dawn.<br />
