Furniture designer practices fine art

Furniture designer practices fine art
News from Baltimore Sun:

April 25, 2012|By Krishana Davis, The Baltimore Sun

If you take a peek into furniture maker Bill Hergenroeder’s shop in Cockeysville, you may be surprised at what you don’t see: no computer-assisted drawings or other high-tech design aids. He prefers the simple life.

The concrete floor of his shop is splattered with old splotches of paint. Stacks of hand-drawn sketches, veneer outlines, screwdrivers and the occasional power drill are scattered around the small space, with just enough room for him to move about to work on his custom furniture creations.

The 60-year-old owner’s solo venture, Hergenroeder Woodworking of Springwood Construction Inc., specializes in wood veneer and inlay pieces, some of which will be on display May 4-6 at the Fine Furnishings and Fine Craft Show at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium.

Bridge City dentists offer free work for ailing patients
News from Beaumont Enterprise:

It was comparable to a scene from “M*A*S*H”, except the activity was in a building, not a tent.

More than a dozen dental chairs were packed into the Bridge City Middle School cafeteria this past September, an event that brought 20 dentists out of their offices to see more than 200 patients.

Dentist Mark Messer and his team are planning to treat as many as 100 more patients at his Bridge City dental office today.

These mass tooth extractions, cleanings and fillings – all free – are possible because of a national non-profit program called Dentristry from the Heart.

Messer said he understands a number of people are finding it difficult to afford dental care.

Has Kate Middleton effect spawned a rush on cosmetic surgery for brides?

Has Kate Middleton effect spawned a rush on cosmetic surgery for brides?
News from Daily Mail:

By Stephanie Hirschmiller

|

The average cost of a UK wedding may have dropped to £10,000 but if we take into account the amount brides are spending on cosmetic surgery, that figure is set to rise considerably. 

According to a survey of 5.000 brides by Confetti.co.uk we’re in the grip of an epidemic of pre-wedding cosmetic surgery.

Blushing brides are seeing their wedding as an opportunity to fix what they don’t like about their appearances.

Who’s for Dinner Party Etiquette
News from Birmingham Weekly:

Don your frocks, tie your bowtie, and break out the Valium–it is time once again to penetrate one of the most charmingly deceptive veneers of southern graciousness: The Dinner Party.

This curious southern ritual, while oddly entertaining, has always baffled me inasmuch as southerners seem to know quite well , at any given time, the intimate goings on of one another’s personal affairs, and one is left to wonder just what remains to be discussed over the roast quail.

I have long suspected that this phenomenon began to blossom to the fullest with the advent of carpool lanes in Mountain Brook’s tiny kingdom.   This caravan of  Mercedes, SUV’s, and Range Rovers, which on the surface appears to be merely the loving transport back to the castle of well-heeled little princes and petunias, is actually a feeding frenzy at the henhouse for car-hopping clucking mothers, such as the recently overheard: “Why Minnie May! I couldn’t help peering through your kitchen window last night. Your new Italian imported tile around your garbage disposal looks j…………… continues on Birmingham Weekly

Beijing 2012: Rolls-Royce Ghost Six Senses Concept
News from Winding Road Magazine:

April 24, 2012

It’s no secret that the Chinese market is a big deal. What you may not know, though, is that it’s the limousine business that’s really booming in the communist country. Look no further than the Jaguar XJ Ultimate or Chrysler 300 Ruyi Design Concept that debuted yesterday, or the Rolls-Royce Ghost Six Senses Concept that debuted today.

The Ghost Six Senses Concept is, not surprisingly, based off of the standard Ghost, which is in turn built on the (heavily modified) bones of the BMW 7-Series.

Woodcut Maps makes pieces from Google app
News from San Francisco Chronicle:

It all started with a wedding gift. Gabe Smedresman was late in buying a present for two Yale classmates and finally decided to build a woodcut map of the campus.

The map, which illustrated the dormitory and law school where his friends met, turned out so well that Smedresman decided to expand the idea into a commercial venture. Two years after creating that prototype, he’s developed a Web application that allows anyone to design their own wood-inlay map.

Smedresman, 28, is a game designer and software engineer who studied architecture and computer sciences at Yale. He started Woodcut Maps with his fiancee, game producer Catherine Herdlick, 34, and their business partner, oboe player Katie Mordarski, 26.

The maps, which use the same technology that Smedresman developed for that early wedding gift, are built from dozens of laser-cut pieces which are then hand-assembled like jigsaw puzzles. The 40 hardwood veneer options include African mahogany, zebrawood, teak and fir; a different veneer is typically used for each of four elements: r…………… continues on San Francisco Chronicle

TOWIE’s Lydia shuns thinner James ‘Arg’ Argent

TOWIE’s Lydia shuns thinner James ‘Arg’ Argent
News from The Sun:

The crooner, 24, has dropped the pounds, got new veneers for his teeth and had his eyebrows waxed.

But despite Lydia loving his new look – she refused to take him back, insisting that she is much happier now that she is single.

TOWIE returned to screens for a fifth series last night – and 1.3million at peak tuned in (including ITV1+1).

Lydia told him: “You look so different. Your teeth look so different.”

And pleaded with him: “I don’t want to be awkward when we go out.”

All smiles … James “Arg” Argent

Arg, 24, told her: “I know I’ve said I’ve done this for me, but really I have done it for you. You said if you sort your life out and grow up we’ll see what happens. I’ve started doing that now, I’m not the person a month and a half ago who was a useless slob and always moping around. I do still love you. I do still miss you. I know you still love me.”

Dental chain expands in the teeth of recession

FUTURE PROOF:A PRIEST coming in for a full set of veneers? Founder of Smiles Dental Emmet O Neill knows that boom-time phenomenon is unlikely to happen again.

I ll never forget it, he says of his collared customer s 2007 request. But that would never happen today. The mix in our business is very different now.

Set up in 2005 after O Neill sought to get his own teeth whitened, the young entrepreneur identified what he thought was a gap in the market for tooth whitening, an industry already booming in the US.

But even at a time when consumers had more cash to flash, he admits we over estimated people s vanity. We over estimated the demand for that kind of service.

With the dentists and facilities in place, he decided to extend into more general dental services where Smiles philosophy would set it apart. I always felt when I went to the…………… continues on Dentistry IQ

Iannone Design

Iannone Design
News from Walnut Street, Mod Lodge and Wooly – Interior Design:

Michael Iannone’s knack for upbeat modernism is writ large on his handmade furniture. His footprint, however, is hardly visible. The design/build firm harvests Forest Stewardship Council-certified woods from managed forests near its Philadelphia studio while also sourcing sustainable standards like bamboo and cork. Topcoats and adhesives are strictly low-VOC; finishes are all-natural oils and waxes. Kicking off this season’s crop is the Walnut Street console. Solid walnut and walnut veneers mingle with Kirei board (made from salvaged sorghum stalks), then sprout as stenciled figures in a glossy-white laminate forest. Or dress it in optional dandelion or hummingbird graphics. Crafted from the same materials, the Mod Lodge sideboard boasts two compartments, each fitted with touch-release doors and an adjustable shelf. When it came to the Wooly media cabinet, Iannone traded progressive graphics for aggressive color fields. Solid maple and maple veneer provide the structure, and eco-friendly wool felt supplies the palette punch. The left side’s flip…………… continues on Walnut Street, Mod Lodge and Wooly – Interior Design

Dentists ‘should offer lifestyle advice’

Dentists ‘should offer lifestyle advice’
News from Private Healthcare UK:

Dentists are ideally placed to offer lifestyle advice, according to one expert.

Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said dentists differ from GPs as people attend dental check-ups even when they have no problems.

Regular dental visits “provide an ideal opportunity for intervention both around things that have got a direct effect in the mouth”, he stated.

Dr Carter suggested that dentists could advise on obvious changes like the amount of sugar in a patient’s diet, but could also explain the benefits of a reduction in alcohol consumption and smoking cessation, both in terms of oral health and general wellbeing.

People are increasingly becoming open to the idea of cosmetic dentistry and Genevieve Keane from the Start Smiling clinic believes that good oral hygiene supplemented by a generally healthy lifestyle can benefit most procedures.

She explained that veneers can last much longer if a patient does not have a receding g…………… continues on Private Healthcare UK

Key concepts in esthetic gingival management: focusing on tooth preparation

Key concepts in esthetic gingival management: focusing on tooth preparation
News from Dentistry IQ:

By Adamo Notarantonio, DDS

Esthetic considerations of teeth and soft tissue play a major role in the treatment planning of dental care, especially in the restoration of anterior teeth. Most attention is paid to techniques and materials that are available in esthetic restorative dentistry, and less on soft tissue esthetics; i.e., the contours, color, and overall appearance of the gingiva and associated soft tissues. This article will demonstrate a basic approach to soft tissue esthetics, the appearance of the gingiva, and will outline a few soft tissue problems and their management when prepping teeth.

The appearance of the gingival tissues surrounding the teeth plays a critical role in anterior esthetics. Abnormalities in symmetry and contour can significantly affect the harmonious appearance of the natural or prosthetic dentition, but the overall health of the tissue can cause catastrophic results if not controlled properly. Many facto…………… continues on Dentistry IQ

Dental veneers: Composite vs. porcelain veneers
News from Newsolio:

Dental veneers are a revolutionary solution to many common teeth problems, as well as a luxury option for those seeking a ‘smile make-over’. As awareness for this procedure increases, so does their popularity and demand. Dental veneers are made of either porcelain or composite resin and are able to fix crooked teeth, spaces between teeth, chipped or damaged teeth and permanently stained teeth.

Unique art exhibit moves into Burien Community Center

Unique art exhibit moves into Burien Community Center
News from Highline Times:

04/02/2012

Press release:

The Burien Community Center is pleased to present the work of local artist Dennis Harrison.

Dennis creates work in Marquetry. Marquetry is an art form that uses only natural and dyed wood veneers in its presentation. It is a little-known art form in America, but it is hundreds of years old as practiced elsewhere.

In the United Kingdom and on the European continent it is considered a ‘fine’ art and is practiced extensively. It is a detail demanding discipline with few, if any, second attempts possible.

Every Marquetry picture is truly one-of-a-kind; beginning with the infinite stresses placed in a growing tree to the final slicing of the veneers, each piece of veneer will never be duplicated again.

Dennis is a founding member of the Puget Sound chapter of the National Marquetry Society. The Society hosts exhibitions and hands-on classes to raise public awareness of the art. Additional art work for viewing and other information is available at Highline Times
