very nice jop.TONY

-- Suliman , Syria, jablah ,

Very impressive woodworks. I like the table top book matching.

-- masrol, kuala lumpur, MY.

Nice work. I saw the same article and really liked the look. I like the smaller table better. Looks great.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! DON’T TELL ME THAT’S A PLASTIC COATING HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I really like the top Tony.
The grain really makes the piece.
I can only appreciate how difficult the arches were to get an equal bend and spacing for each but they are not my favourite design due to the difficulty in keeping the spaces dust free.

Still a very impressive piece of art.

Your craftsmanship as always is impeccable.

Cheers
Bob

That is so cool. Love the arch with the space between, looks great. Beautiful wood and craftsmanship, SUPER!

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

That’s it. I’m giving up woodworking completely. Time to have a fire sale and get rid of all of my tools. I’ll NEVER be able to create something as cool as that.

A beautiful creation Tony!

When I looked at the first two images, I thought was laminated with light, & dark wood.

A very unique design.

Thank you for the nice comments. I would like to take credit for the design, but this must really go to Petter Southall, I only copied his concept and rescaled it a little.

I have been very lucky with this customer – He has supplied all the wood (300bf), which was partly green when it arrived. So I have been able to pick and choose the timber used for project in hand. As I have seen the nice looking boards, I have reserved these for prominent features, whilst the not so nice wood, for the lower profile parts. The great thing is I do not have to worry about color matching.

The top was cut from one board which was 10’ long 12” wide and 3” thick – it really did produce a nice book matched pattern.

Bob I never thought about the dust build up – better keep this quiet, in case somebody else wants me to make another one! At least I do not have to worry about keeping it clean – I have a big compressor, which is always full of lots of nice cleaning agent.

Beardking You have to start before you can stop and you cannot give up if you have never tried !!!!

Cool, Tony. Man that top looks great, and the “hollow” strip arches really are unique.

By the way, I just checked out that link. What a cool website, thanks for mentioning it.

Tony…such a wonderful rendition of Peter’s work…I look at that back cover a lot of that issue of FWW…very nice job!!!

OBI—-I remember that conversation!!!! But is wax the plastic we talked about…actually at the time I had no idea what you guys were talking about…but I do remember the debate on the finish…

Beautiful work Tony, as usual. You are in a class by yourself when it comes to craftsmanship.

-- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

tony—-it wasnt an LJ thread—-is was the LJ real life version when we got together at Obi’s place…you were “debating” him on the finish he was using—-saying: “that stuff isnt finish, that stuff is plastic.”

by the way—-what did you do with purple heart???

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

That conversation was such a long time ago (10 months), I had forgotton about it. Nitrouse Cellulose I think. Ah I remember it vaguely.

The PH, I used small ammount on a table

, but apart from that I have not used it too much – it is too valuable to me to waste or to use it all on one project, I just cannot get here in Finland.
