This piece of furniture took me around 1100 hours to make. Carving and marquetry added to a piece of furniture can really take you back in time. When designing this piece I really wanted to add carvings to this piece of furniture without making it to busy. By adding eagle wings & the lions face and violin scrolls. Alone with marquetry of roses. This is the most enjoyable piece of furniture I’ve made so far.

seeing who created them, & just knew this one had to be yours.

This one is a winner in my estimation.

jimbell jimbell writes: This piece would flatten every other piece of furniture in the room. Last weekend I dined at a house that overlooked the bay and could use something like this in the livingroom. But they would have to --I think-- simplify the entire room, say, to black leather furniture, to let this piece take centre stage.

The detail and patience it must have taken to execute such a fine piece of art and make it all come together with the carving and marquetry is outstanding. You are a true master craftsman. This is a piece that belongs in a museum of fine art!

Diviner Diviner writes: There are very, very few people in this country who posses the hand skills in both marquetry AND carving that Dennis does. Hopefully we can get the Griffin table into the final selection and get Dennis a well deserved hvlp sprayer.
