Those were probably my first woodworking projects rite after returning from soviet military service in 1986.

In the beginning , I made myself tools :
And I saw that they were good .
And then I made with those tools all my veneer mosaics .

And they were also not bad .

One of so called “The-not-your-normal-cutting board”.

I know its not flawless , I wanted to try this and I was impatient.

More pictures from making process in my Blog.

This is first of four I have made in total.
I made this coffee table in year 1999.
Back then I worked in a small firm building custom furniture and I had good boss and free time on my work place.
Its 100% particle board and veneer , no wood are used.
My boss charged me for materials and uses of his tools 1/5 of my monthly income ( circa $70.00 back then).
I sold it 30min after the lacquer was dry for a 1 monthly income.
Rest of coffee tables and other my woodcraft are sown on my website.
