I spent some time in asia and love the asian look. The top is hand sculpted cherry and usually has a set of three Samurai swords setting in a rack on the top. The drawers are dovetailed and slide on...

Re: Morris Chair #1

Nice job. I did one similar but was not smart enough to extend the back as you did. That is the only thing that I dislike about the chair. When I brought it into the house my wife said: "It's too big for me to sit in". I replied: "Well, there ya go!"

Re: Podium

You have packed a lot into a small package. What kind of hardware did you use for the fold over portion of the writing surface? Great work.

Wow! What a work to inspire your future projects. I don't think even the Roycrofter workshops were this inspirational.

Beautiful tables. I was on the Wisconsin in Norfolk last week and wondered about that wooden deck and the history behind it.

Re: Orchid Motif Marquetry Breakfast Table

Beautiful work! I have had the opportunity to be at two AWFS presentations that Paul has given. Even though they are only a few hours long, he is a great teacher. I wish that I could train under him. Because I have NO artistic ability, that will never happen. I envy your skill.
