Lovely looking work.

I like your approach. No-one breaks new ground by following tradition, but it is still true that others have usually gone before and could help. Why learn the hard way when experience exists out there to help you avoid making the same mistakes that they did ?

Hint - Questions posted on forums like this are a good way to pick up "unpatronising tips".

Bon courage !

Re: Wine Barrel Cabinet

Nice original design. Like it a lot.

Re: Treasure Chest

Beautiful!

Did you etch the glass too?

Re: Mahogany Entry Door

Very nice indeed. Elegant proportions and I really like the hatch.

Have you used any proprietary weather proofing seals, if so, would you share which ones and where fitted? I'm especially interested as an architectural exterior door is moving quite close to the top of my action list.

Re: Green & Green Sideboard

That's beautiful, I love it. Have you seen Green and Green work in the flesh or only from photos like me? It is quite infuriating to realise that I was at Santa Anita for the racing some years ago and did not realise how close I was to an opportunity for seeing their work.

Was it a commission?
