THE PINWHEEL | 3D Layered Wood Wall Art

This art piece is made to order. This design is limited to 20 finished pieces. The art number shown in the photos is an example of what would be engraved on the back. Actual art numbers vary.

This detailed art piece, dubbed "The Pinwheel" by Jeff, is made from 8 layers of custom plywood in 4 materials, each layer a slightly different shape than the last. The layering create a three-dimensional effect that is at the same time relaxing and mesmerizing. You'll always find a new detail to enjoy in each of my designs. This design was cut using a laser cutter, then sanded, glued together, and sprayed with several coats of lacquer for a gorgeous and durable shine.

ABOUT OUR UNIQUE 3D LAYERED ART:

Our process starts with AutoCAD and Illustrator, creating basic designs using precise measurements and offsets. Each layer of the design is drawn from scratch, rather than automatically generated. We then take these finished designs and cut The finished pieces consist of multiple layers, typically between 6 and 12 layers. This layering effect produces the three-dimensional art you see. What is it that makes this artwork so stunning?

Custom Materials
Having spent years working with high-quality Baltic Birch plywood, and knowing its advantages and disadvantages, we chose to have the hardwood plywoods for our art manufactured specially for us. We currently use four different species of wood in our plywood — Maple (light), Cherry (medium-light), Mahogany (medium-dark), and Walnut (dark). The major benefit of using custom-fabricated plywood is that we are the ONLY business to use this extremely high quality plywood material. And by combining these four colors in our artwork, we can create some truly unique pieces of art even while using the same design. The end result is fewer identical art pieces, meaning they will keep their collectible value far longer.

Durability
Each piece of art is meticulously hand-sanded, then glued and finish-sanded. We then add several coats of lacquer finish, which brings out the natural beauty of the woods. Each piece has no fewer than 6 coats of lacquer for extreme durability. We also provide boxes with custom, laser-cut foam inserts to protect your art piece during shipping and storage.

Simple Wall-Mounting
During the design process, we integrate mounting points into the design, in some cases in multiple locations to allow for varied hanging directions. All you need is a nail or screw with a large head. Medium-gauage nails work best because of their strength, especially with larger pieces.
