The cloth is made out of beech, turned and hollowed on the lathe, carved with powertools and gouges, and burned with a blowtorch. Then it was sanded and burned again before being dyied with Indian ink. This process make the piece of wood look like a black cloth, using the grain of the wood as the fibers of the cloth. The edges of the piece have been brushed and gently burned. The base is a piece of plywood, painted in black with spray paint.
