Borderline Series: Step Stool, features sculptural lines and flowing joints feature prominently in this design from Kenton Jeske. The work is hand shaped and constructed with traditional mortise and tenon joinery hand fit for strength and precision. Weighted for up to 250 lbs.

All work is handcrafted with signature, number and date cataloging.

The Borderline Series features a unique design aesthetic creating a boundary line between a finely polish hardwood surface and the antiqued milk painted surface. It’s a stepped ridge that borders the pieces natural and painted surfaces. This feature requires technical expertise to seamlessly blend joints prior to assembly rather than post assembly.

Painted works are brushed using Milk paint. Milk paint is a powder base paint that is hand mixed to a consistency that facilitates a particular look I am after. Pictured images are hard to capture the characteristics of the final look which has light fissures and depending on the wood species used allows grain patterns to show through while remaining opaque.
