Woodworking - Part IV


~~~~~*~~~~~
Carved Wood,
Heart and Soul
~~~~~*~~~~~
Let's take a look at carved woodwork speaking in different species and with unique voices.

Words fall away, and at best... The work speaks for itself.

(1) Pine Mirror: 60" wide X 42" tall X 2" thick. It is finished with caustic soda, shellac and a dark wax:




(2) Three Drawer Cherry Serpentine front COD: 42" wide X 20" deep X 34" high. This side chest has drawer fronts with sprigs of Oak carved in bookmatched patterns on either side.







(3) Alder Pier Table: 60" wide X 18" deep X 35" high




(4) White Oak Plate Rack: 54" wide X 8" deep X 36" high

  3. DW,
    Thanks....Yanno, this "body of work" represents less than half of what I have built over the last 20 some odd years.

    BTW - your photo header is gorgeous. CO does seem to get the prettiest sunrises and sunsets. It's nice that you capture them on film for us to enjoy.
