4 by Long Table
Newbern, Alabama
At
the Rural Studio everyone: students, professors, tradesmen, artist, and
convicts around
one table is a symbol for the unity in the process of making
things. In order for everyone to have a seat you need a table forty feet long.
This design was for a table with no end, since no one should be the head of
the table, all who sit are equals. Constructed out of the most common of material:
construction grade yellow pine 2 X 4’s, which are planed on all sides,
laminated together, and sanded down smooth; the main idea being that if you
work on something long enough and hard enough, anything can become beautiful.
