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.

There are few people today that can match his skill and expertize. He has the patience and that commitment to excellence that sets him apart from other artists. I can't wait for his book to come out, and his next project, hopefully I'll be the first to see it on Lumberjocks.com. woodjock aka jockmike2
