Ditto what John said!

To me, there is no more beautiful work that the simplicity of the Shakers.

Very stunning, excellent job!

What a great job. All your work on finishing really paid off. That is a classic piece of furniture!

That’s darn nice.

Really sweet. Thanks for the extra pictures, I learned something.

Beautiful piece. The finish on the top looks awesome!

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Well you would certainly get my WOW comments on this table versus your pens !! The wood grain and finish are remarkable on this sweet table : )

Thanks people…...your great comments make all the hard work worthwhile! I would like to make a correction however. The piece I copied the design from was by Christian Becksvoort not Vandervoort. He’s a contributor to FWW Magazine. Thanks again and God Bless!

A truly brilliant piece of work. I’ve had my eye on that design (I think it’s in the Moser) for a long time, but we’d have nowhere to put it if I made it. You’ve obviously put a lot of thought into selecting and laying out the timber: the bookmatching and the grain flow across the front look beautiful. The time on the finish has been well spent. Congrats.
