Hello Junji,

Let me welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find this to be both an exciting and an inspirational part of your woodworking adventure.

Glad to see that you have made Lumberjocks a part of your Woodworking experience… Welcome

TThomas,
I do almost like singer-songwriter style. I play acoustic guitar and sing, with piano, other guitars, and sometimes with bass and drums, percussion. I play my own songs and other songs in Japanese, but also play songs in English of Beatles, Eagles, James Taylor, Carol King, these stuff.
You can hear me singeing at myspace.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless

Todd,
Thank you so much. I didn’t even think about somebody would visit myspace site from Lumberjocks.
This is a great thing, both music and woodworking connected in a way.

Thanks for your kind words Junji. If you look back at my blog, Todd has posted some great info about Nakashima. When I completed the design, I had no idea who Nakashima was. My shop teacher had a book with some of his work in it and I just began modeling my design off of his (similar to a bench seen here http://www.design.cmu.edu/files/0929fancybench_450x270dv.jpg ) I will let you know when I have the opportunity to update with more images. As for the butterflies, I’m glad someone noticed them. There are 10 butterflies on the seat (both walnut and an ebony like wood—the name escapes me), a large ebony butterfly on the leg purely for decoration, and I even tried to continue the butterfly shape throughout the back supports with the large pine butterfly shape in the center and two ebony butterflies on the end. There are a number of intricacies about the design such as this that I will describe in more detail at a later date. Until i upload better pictures, it will be hard to see.

Thank you once again.

Best regards,
