About 5 years ago we built a hope chest for our daughter. We used three species of wood. Maple, cedar and walnut. We used 3 types maple. Curly maple, Birdseye maple and quilted maple. I designed it...

Re: Griffin Table

There are some very fine tables in this collection but I believe the Griffin table is in a class by itself.

Great work Dennis.

Re: Serendipity Cabinet

Very nice. This design and craftsmanship is museum quality.

I am sure this will be copied... If I don't copy the exact design I will definitely copy the concept.

Good job.

Re: Corner Jewelry Cabinet

Very impressive design and craftsmanship.

I agree with John316 it should be in a museum.

Re: Pennsylvania Spice Box

That is a beautiful spice box. I love the rosewood.

Are the drawer boxes made from birds eye maple? If not, I don't see where it is.

Re: Sleigh Changing Table/Dresser

That is a great design and a great gift.

I'm not sure they will want to use as teenager's but I guarantee it will go into storage and get reused when they have their own babies.

You have just created an heirloom.

Good job.

It reminds me of something from Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland.

Re: Cure for the Common Cabinet: Official Rules

IS THAT A TYPO?

Under the Winner's List heading it says that we need to send a stamped self-addressed envelope by August 25th, 2009 in order to have a list of winners mailed back to us. That is going to be hard to do.

Re: Bench Cookie Giveaway

I was at Rockler the other day and as I was checking out I asked the usual question "Well, what else do you have that I can't live without...?"

The guy said "Want some cookies?" I said "Sure!" not knowing he meant bench cookies.

I forgot about them and left them in the front seat of the car. A couple of days later my wife said "You think you're funny don't you? I got in the car and saw that package that said cookies on it and got all excited!"

LOL. The funny thing is they work great. I plan to buy another set if I don't win them.
