ghostrider Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Very nice work. My dad had some woodworking skills though not as accomplished as yours. I did not inherit them & remain in awe of people who can do this stuff. I'm reminded of a retired English couple who lived across the hall from us in NYC. He was a furniture maker. We got to see their apartment once and my gosh, the inlays, the carving, the deep rich stains. Truly amazing work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stone Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 do you do intricate parquet designs on tables? I vote for that to be your next project. I've been considering a chess table. But I don't want to make another table yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stone Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Very nice work. My dad had some woodworking skills though not as accomplished as yours. The guy that made this is accomplished: And here's how to do it: Easy. And if you like this stuff, you should watch these Videos. It's a video log of a different guy building this, from one big hunk of mahogany. 88 episodes, i think 3 months of work. Well worth the time to watch: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 You're going to make some young lady very happy, Stone. She'll still have to put up with him when he's out of the woodshed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
