i'm really stoked on your exaggerated swooping forms in the stretcher pieces and the drastic angled dovetails. i am sometimes hesitant to use certain forms in my own designs because they are not typically seen in traditional woodworking. i feel like you "give me permission" to let my creativity run free (as long as it's structurally sound, of course).

and the dovetails are great. i've been fascinated by the dovetail ever since i first learned about it in my first woodworking class.

thanks for the post.

josh.
