Roeddwn i eisiau creu darn o dodrefnyn sy’n dathlu harddwch urddasol y goeden a syrthiodd ym Mhlas Glyn-y-Weddw, a thynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd coed ffawydd i grefftwyr ar hyd y canrifoedd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMae stori’r ‘Fainc Fagus’ (Duw Celtaidd y coed ffawydd) yn dechrau gyda’r planc sedd sydd wedi’i adael yn ei ffurf amrwd i gadw nodweddion graen naturiol y goeden ei hun. Yna, mae’r breichiau wedi cael eu crefftio gan ddefnyddio technegau traddodiadol a modern a ddefnyddiwyd dros amser gan genedlaethau o wneuthurwyr dodrefn. Mae un braich wedi’i chreu gan ddefnyddio rhannau o ffawydd sydd wedi’u plygu gyda nwy i greu ffurf sy’n llifo, tebyg i gangen, wedi’u gorffen ar geffyl naddu gyda rhasgl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFel cyferbyniad, mae’r ail fraich wedi ei chreu gan ddefnyddio peiriannau a thechnegau gorffen modern i greu cynrychiolaeth lân, geometrig o ddail y goeden ffawydd. Mae’r bencin yn hygyrch o’r ddwy ochr, gan ei gwneud yn ddelfrydol i’w roi yng nghanol ystafell oriel er mwyn i ymwelwyr eistedd a gweld arddangosfeydd eraill Coed Coexist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMae natur gyffyrddol y fainc yn galluogi’r defnyddiwr i deimlo’r cysylltiad rhwng y goeden a syrthiodd a gwaith crefft a chelf Coed Coexist yn yr arddangosfa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\/\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHistorically the beech tree has been revered as the `Queen of the Forest` due to its graceful appearance, smooth grey bark and sweeping canopy. I wanted to create a piece of furniture that celebrates the majestic beauty of the fallen Plas Glyn-y-Weddw tree and highlight the importance of beech wood to craft makers throughout the centuries.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe story of the `Fagus Bench` (Celtic God of beech trees) starts with the seat plank that has been left in its raw form to retain the natural grain characteristics of the tree itself. The arms have then been crafted using both traditional and modern techniques that have been employed over time by generations of furniture makers. One arm is constructed using sections of beech that are steam bent into flowing, branch like forms that have been finished on a shave horse with a draw\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eknife.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn contrast, the second arm uses modern machines and finishing techniques to create a clean, geometric representation of the beech tree leaf. The bench is accessible from both sides, making it ideal to be placed in the centre of a gallery room for visitors to sit down and view other Coed Coexist exhibits.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe tactile nature of the bench enables the user to really feel the connection between the fallen tree and the Coed Coexist craft and artworks in the exhibition.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57685640905091,"sku":null,"price":1450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3858\/3084\/files\/IMG_9027_fd77596e-1388-4dd8-b6fe-3ea1c82e95ba.jpg?v=1774628865","url":"https:\/\/oriel-plas-glyn-y-weddw.myshopify.com\/products\/coed-ffawydd-beech-wood","provider":"Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
