Documented investigations into moisture equilibrium, chemical surface oxidation, and modular framing joints.
Oak Moisture Equilibrium
Ferric Steel Patination
Cantilever Bench Anchor
Evaluating cold acid bath immersion times on heavy plate steel to achieve a uniform matte black oxide layer resistant to environmental handling wear.
Analyzing shear stress tolerances on concealed structural steel brackets engineered to float a four-meter solid timber bench for a municipal interior installation.
Tracking dimensional deflection across quarter-sawn white oak planks during a six-week kiln cycle, calibrating tenon allowances for regional relative humidity swings.
Every solid timber span moves with ambient humidity. Designing without expansion pockets guarantees structural failure regardless of fastener strength.
