Many of you will remember Cameron Tiede. He was active as an LA-based artist both with gallery shows, customs, a line of vinyl toys, and several limited-edition wood releases including his awesome Blooming Death. For the past several years he’s taken a bit of a hiatus while continuing to grow his woodworking skills, add yet more power tools to his studio in Flowermound, Teaxs, and develop a new, refined aesthetic. The result is his ‘Wood Candy Workshop’.
With Wood Candy Workshop Cameron will be focusing on creating and producing limited-edition design objects in premium hardwoods. And yes, that includes a few toys. First up in fact is Chester, a 5.25” wood figure made of 17 individually cut pieces of Walnut, Cherry, Maple and Padauk. Shown in the teaser after the jump, Chester will debut in a natural wood edition, hand-rubbed in 100% pure Tung oil and waxed with a special natural bees wax. Look for more information soon on Wood Candy Workshop and Chester, which will be released in late October.
