I feel the same as others here. All the entries are excellent. This piece, however, stopped me in my tracks. I just stare at it. It's the most beautiful chest I've ever seen.
I love the color contrast between the maple and walnut on this bench. I'm making one similar to this. Wait. No, it's made of wood like this one, but that's about as close as mine will come to this one. At any rate I've left room underneath for drawers and your picture will be referred to often.
How in the world does one make those indents for the tools? I wanna do that!

Re: glider and ottoman
I love this glider and ottoman! I've been looking at pictures of gliders to build and haven't really been happy with any, but this is perfect.

Re: Federal Sideboard
Wait just a minute here! You made both the grandfather clock AND this Federal table? That just isn't fair.

Beautful work, Paul. Just beautiful.
Hey, do you have a portfolio? I'd love to see it.

Argyll,

Good choice on the arched feet and bottom rail. It helps lighten the feel of the design as you intended.
It also balances out very well what could otherwise be a bottom-heaviness from the legs being wider at the bottom.
Is the top of the piece a flat surface? I can't really tell.
Thanks for posting the pictures!

Re: bucket storage
The orange coil and the white bucket provide a distinctive color contrast. And the detail! The dead fishfly is a great accent.
