Sea and Sky Altar Coffer
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: J.M. Syron
J.M. Syron and Bonnie Bishoff drew on details of Chinese furniture for their altar coffer’s raised ends and exuberantly scrolled skirt and corbels. A Chinese tapestry inspired the seascape on the panels. Syron built the mahogany cabinet and Bishoff pieced together the stylized seascapes in marquetry fashion, using “veneers” of polymer clay. She also used polymer to create the illusion of “cracked ice” latticework over the seascape.
