Stuart Faulkner’s white beech Plan

B Bench was also perfect in its sleek

David Upfill Brown’s Outeniqua Table

was a return to an earthier style, one

that recalled the maker’s past use of

inward facing boards are set apart to

reveal the almost human intimacy of

its sculpted base.

With Chatoyance, members of

Studio Woodworkers Association

revealed the depth of their individual

and diverse styles within a range

of works that collectively gave a

rich interpretation of the inner and

infinitely variable beauty of wood.
