Firewood Rack


This sculpture has function, but emphasis of the design was on beauty. I was inspired by Frank Loyd Wright with his rectilinear geometric patterns and also to contrast with a natural setting. The contrasting organic setting is the fire wood. I did however add a few leaves. The rack can be placed to show the leaves or turned around to emphasize the geometric pattern. Pine wood was used on the bottom make the rack friendly to an interior floor. The rack is three feet wide, three feet high and 15 1/2 inches deep, to hold 16 inch wood.
