In Part I, I chatted about how I researched and found a historical border that I thought would be a great fit in the Parlor. After we picked out a mock-up, Everett from Virtuoso Hardwoods went to work making all the pieces of this giant, intricate, incredible puzzle.
The mock up!
These pictures are his from their shop, and I won’t offer a ton of commentary – they are just SO COOL to look at!
Material!
And LOTS of Math. Lots of it.
So organized and PERFECT.
It’s like the start of a lovely lattice.
When I first looked at this picture, I was like, “Man, that’s a wonky board.” But IT’S 9,016,273 itty bitty squares.
I can’t believe how lovely this is.
Mesmerizing.
Packed up and ready to go!
With the outside border.
Clamp game is strong! Here’s the border.
In the house!
It’s just so damn perfect.
I posted this video from the floorers a while back, but it definitely needs repeated here! Also, check out their blog post about this phase of the project!
Next up – it gets installed!
