Why doesn't "scrap" wood like that ever fall into my hands? Beautiful table, really like the perportions(sp?). What did you use for finish? Nice job.

Nice, very nice. Especially like the scroll-saw likeness..great touch. Good job, bet he enjoyed it. Hope he enjoys his retirement.

Sam Maloff would be proud of you. I'd put it in my house. Right by the front door, so everyone would see it. Real nice job.

That's nice...very nice. Really like the wood you used a lot.
The corner with the "ugly" is my favorite. Great job.

I've seen the original and you nailed it. Your iron work is right on the money. Nice job.

There are two things I don't like about this table.
1. I didn't make it.
2. It's not sitting in my front hallway.
I love the design and the wood is amazing. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Very very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Great design and excellant execution. Your combination of wood species really works. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Gary, if you get any more "firewood" like that, send it out here to Wa. I will be happy to "dispose" of it for you.
Real nice job. Beautiful little bench. Mr Nakashima would be proud of you. Thanks for sharing. Mike

Allan, all I can say is....very, very cool. Excellant design and beautiful execution. Great job. Mike

Very elegant. I like that you left some of the small "flaws" in the wood exposed.The carving on the back panel was a real nice touch. It's an all round beautiful piece. Great job.

Great design. The thru tenon's really add to the overall look and I really like the "mouse". A little "whimzy" is always appropriate. A lot of storage in a beautiful piece, doesn't get any better. Nice job. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Wow, Charlie, that thing is drop dead gorgeous! I really like the mass of the legs and the size of the dovetails. The butterfly's look just right. Nice job.

You do nice work there Keith. The way the panels are layed out on the front really give the case a great look. Nice design. Thanks for sharing.

Dennis, very inspiring. Beautiful from every angle. Your eye for detail is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Mike

Having made a few sets of pistol grips myself I can honestly say...Nice Job. Until you make a set you don't realize how hard it is to get the contour correct and the fit as nice as you did. The myrtle has a nice warm tone that goes well with the blued metal. They look great, nice work.

WOW!! Now that's an expensive rocking chair. Look's great. Nice job.

You did a great job. I think you've got a future in mortise and tenon work. You are correct in stating that fir is a pain to work with sometimes. Here in the Pacific Northwest fir and pine are common woods, and can yield beautiful stuff if you can work around the warping, bending, spitting,etc. Your bench looks terrific. The only suggestion I would make is to use a contrasting wood for your wedges, brings the eye to those great joints you made. The aluminum brackets are a great idea.

Nice, very nice. I really like the detail around the perimeter of the maple, it's just right. The finish looks great. Making the center drawer with a burl face is a nice touch. Good job.

Love the design. Nice job.

That is definitly a heirloom. Outstanding design and execution.

Wow! Nice selection of woods. Really look good together. Good job.

Good job. I like your slat design.

Great job. Your fit and finish look perfect. Really lets the personality of the wood shine. I like the contrasting woods and your drawer design is just right.Once again, Great job.

Very nice. Your fit and finish looks great. Nice choice of wood and the design is top notch. Good job.

Very nice. Especially like the wood hinges. The lid is exceptional, and the tray is a nice touch. You didn't give dimension's or what kind of finish it has, but the pictures are pretty good. I have to make one for each grand daughter when they turn 16, I'm working on number 7 and only have 12 more to go at last count. I may have to "borrow" a couple of your ideas. Thanks for posting.

I feel your pain. I have almost the same situation. I have a few more square feet(about 15), but share the short headspace and basement location. We can build the same stuff "Norm" does, just have to do it differantly. Hang in there, your shop looks great for the amount of space you have.
