Wall Flower





Original sketch.






Computer drawing.







Danny helping with the build. Couldn't do it without him.






Mounting the face.







The finished piece without any finish.






Handmade stainless pulls.







Installed using a french cleat. The cleat keeps the piece snug against the wall.







Its also functional.







Apparently the appearance of the wood is caused by the ambrosia beetle.






The original design had the ambrosia maple on the front as well. It was too much. I left it off.

About Me

My photo
Kenon Perry is an artist first and a carpenter second. He believes if a piece isn't thoughtfully designed, lines to limbs, then no one will notice whether its assembled with a tongue-and-groove joint or a dove tail, whether the wood is wenge or ipé. Perry was born in east Texas with a God-given ability to build things, spending the bulk of his Waco boyhood drawing, fabricating, or thinking about drawing or fabricating. He then honed these raw talents at the prestigious University of North Texas art school, studying sculpture, graphic design, and history. Perry has since moved to Brooklyn NY. I love what I do and sometimes it even loves me back. Icon custom furniture crafts heirloom-quality furniture and cabinets for clients who recognize fine materials and superb construction practices. Our company was founded and is run by an artist and that is evident in our work, both the creative process and the end result. If you can't build it, we will. If you can't dream it, we can do that, too.
