Re: Rosewood Cabinet


Steve,
This is the 1st time I have built a spec cabinet. I did it because I had the time and all the material except the hinging. ($35.00) and this Vision. I have a vague plan to use it as a marketing tool, and there are a couple of shows here in St. Louis that I can enter it in. The black textured/carved boxes are the only boxes I've offered for sale. They go for $160-$250. I don't spend much time on the inside, usually just enough to get a small storage space that allows me to call it a box. Most of those boxes on the site were made because I can't stop myself..lol most are given as gifts, but I have a sizable collection around the house.

Re: Candle holder makes a quick but elegant gift


That is a beautiful design Stephen. I made some last year and rubbed on a couple of coats of a poly/linseed/thinner mix and it wasn't enough to block colored candles from staining the woods. I liked the finish so I stated drilling for tea candles.

Beautiful curves. Very Nice Work.

Thanks Bob.

Re: MJ Cabinet


Agreed Pete.. I came up with several legs for this that I believe may have worked better, and we discussed bringing in more cherry top and bottom,but in the end this is what the client wanted, and if it works for him...well you know :^)

Thx for posting.
