The Tripod takes its shape from old wrought iron candle stands. Getman-Pickering built it by split turning, where two pieces of wood are glued up with a sheet of paper between them, turned on the lathe, then split apart along the paper seam to leave one face round and one flat. The parts are cut with a series of jigs and joined back together. Simple as it looks, the build runs through many of the techniques he has collected over the years. Made in cherry or basswood.
 
Aaron Getman-Pickering is a woodworker, designer, and artist working from his studio in Kingston, New York. Headed for law school after an internship in the Obama White House, he was pulled off course by a carpentry job, then spent years training with furniture makers and artists including Martin Puryear, Christopher Kurtz, and Kieran Kinsella. He draws on forms as varied as Danish pipes, East African headrests, architectural ornament, and industrial objects, building one of a kind lighting and furniture piece by piece.
