Nice detail work!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Excellent work!

-- masrol, kuala lumpur, MY.

Great job

-- Thos. Angle

Thanks, everyone, the detail work is time consuming, but worth the effort. At times it feels a bit more like building a model rather than woodworking, but I really like the results.

-- Corey

I love Garrett’s furniture, and you did him proud.

-- Rich in Richmond

Very elegant well done.

-- Woody, UK

Fantastic table Corey, awesome job!

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

This project shows two things (besides the fact that you built an awesome table): you didn’t waste your money and Garrett Hack is a great teacher. Great build.

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

gorgeous!!! WELCOME TO Lj’s!!!!!!!!!!

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

I keep telling myself that I need to learn how to do detail inlay and your project reminded me to have yet another talk with myself. Nice work.

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

Very nice work!!!

-- Dennis Zongker

Love that detail work. What a valuable experience that class must of been. Great job.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

before i read Garrett Hack I knew it was inspired by him. The morse code inlay and the Fans are very him. Extremly nice work.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! It’s been a while since I checked LJ’s. Skeeter, thanks for the comment. Garrett and I have gotten to know each other quite well in the past few years. I really enjoy his woodworking design and philosophy. He’s a really great guy, if you ever get a chance to attend a workshop of his, I highly recommend it. The Wisconsin Woodworkers Guild is having him come this November to talk about drawers, I’m already looking forward to it.

-- Corey

did you use a router or scratch stock to do the stringing inlay. I love it

-- My philosophy: Somewhere between Norm and Roy

Hey Skeeter. I used a scratch stock, The stringing is less than 1/16” also, with the scratch stock you can make the groove tapered and the stringing tapered to fit, it almost doesn’t need glue. I used a scratch stock for the top stringing as well, but I made a little curved fence double blade cutter to do the front of the top. It takes some practice and patience, but the results are pretty great.
