Honeycomb sub-structures are great when designing a project that is intended to be strong, yet lightweight. Sailboat manufacuturing comes to mind. But, when making quality furniture, using genuine hardwoods is a tradition that is hard to beat. You can always tell when someone put quality in a project and that usually includes solid panels with no MDF cores or honeycombs. For the Shows and Displays Industry, lighweight and stregth are important, but longevity is secondary. Make it look good for several shows and design a new unit. Honeycomb sub-structure has its place, but not in fine furniture - sorry.

Norm A. would be proud. It looks portable too.

You have to explore design on your and your main audience, your bride has probably found the piece to be priceless. She problably can't wait till the other pieces are finished. Hey - what are you doing browsing this website, shouldn't you be in the workshop finishing the project.

Great work and congrats!

Very nice details and the piece and some heft, softened by a robust design.

I work to live, but work with wood to enjoy life.

I wonder what the wife and kids are doing right now?

I know that she will appreciate this kitchen island when I am done.

My wife is great! She lets me buy a new toy for every new project I start for the house. This will be special project - just for her.
