Henrique Oliveira is a São Paulo-based artist who uses recycled materials and returns them to their true natural form. This latest piece, titled Transarquitetonica, is a giant network of root-like tunnels which can be explored from the inside. Oliveira's largest piece to date, he sees it as not just an installation but an experience for the senses.
We love this creative use of discarded construction site materials and the way Oliveira's work returns the wood back to the beginning of its journey.

International Woodworking Fair - Atlanta
Every two years the city of Atlanta plays host to the International
Woodworking Fair, and the range of products and services on display this year
was astonishing. From specialist manufacturers of the smallest carving tools, to
demonstrations of factory-scale high speed processing of sheet materials, there
was something for all to see.
A particular crowd-pleaser
was the growing number of displays with high specification CNC routers, which
were able to reproduce designs with intricate detailing at simply the touch of
a button.
Triton Tools
exhibited with an impressive booth displaying the full range of equipment
available, as well as a couple of special show previews. Whilst the award-winning
Triton routers and a limited range of Triton Precision Power Tools have been
available in the US for some years, the complete expanded range already
distributed in other parts of the world will arrive in the USA for the first
time from November 2014.
Due for release in
2015, the new Triton Workcentre WX7 attracted a lot of attention at its first
showing in the US. Hands-on enthusiasts and experienced journalists alike were
keen to learn more. Here is an interview with Woodworkers Journal that offers a
bit more information.
