That’s pretty cool. Thanks for showing this.

I thought I was having an acid flashback for a minute. That is some piece, very unique, and looks difficult as can be. I applaud your talent.

-- Dan Wiggins

Now I see more better what you’ve got there. That is even more cool than I first thought.

That is definitly different. Very nice craftsmanship….Is there pics of the inside?

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

That table looks drunk! Fun stuff Ohad!

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

Definitely a mix of Picasso & Dr. Suess. Maybe even a bit of Dr. Doolittle thrown in. The second and third pics show me an animal of some sort. The way the pic is taken, the angle shows me an animal with a saddle of sorts, and then the third pic when the door is open, there’s a head. Some sort of mythical something or other perhaps.

No, I haven’t had a drink, yet. Maybe I should start.

-- cut it saw it scrap it

Absolutely amazing. You are as much of a sculptor as you are a furniture maker. I would love to be talented enough to create something like that.

Very very nice, a real lesson on how free form wood can be for us 90 degree, square corner boys. I applaud your artistic talents of using wood as a medium and allowing it to breath life into a project.

Now if I can just figure out how this fits into the secret compartment category or is it such a secret that not even you can reveal it’s existence.

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

Wow, this is great. You should blog out some of your next projects, I bet you would attract crowds of interest.

Great job, this looks terrific!!

you may sell this for DISNEY, CO.

Yes – from the Great Doctor (Seuss) or perhaps from beyond the looking glass.
I guess I don’t have to bother making anything to put in the contest anymore… This is great! (But please show us the secret in this one – we won’t tell!)

—and/or write some more about your pieces… Share with us a step by step, or where your inspirations come from! Love these pieces you’ve posted today!

-- masrol, kuala lumpur, MY.

This one is my favorite. Looks like something right out of Monsters Inc. I can almost see it eating a todler for lunch! I do admire people who can think so far out of the box, and then pull it off so well.

Amazing! I’m not sure I would want one in my living room and, to be honest, I can’t really decide whether I like it or not. But I certainly appreciate the craftsmanship and talent that allowed you to design and construct this memorable piece. When I look at the images, it looks like it could walk across your floor. I hope you are entering this in an art exhibit somewhere because it certainly should be shown!!!

Really beautiful never seen anything like it .It’s very inspirational well done regards Alistair

-- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease

that is really neat. the side profile looks like a DR. Seuss elephant.
where is the secret compartment?

I was going to ask the same thing as titmas, where’s the secrete compartment?

Looks like something from Salavedor Dali. Pretty interesting!

-- It's better to have people think you're stupid rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Ditto what Miket said about Dali and that eyeball knot is really something.

I was having difficulty getting a handle on the scale of your work until I saw the center picture.

Good Luck in the contest!

Lew

Any chance we can get you to at least describe your technique for forming that “melted wood” look?

Amazing stuff!!!

So, what do you store inside of it? Wobble-winks? I think I saw the right eye wink at me. I’m not coming over. Knottingly cool! I love the eucalylptus. Do you know what species it is?

I think I see a mistake…

Just kidding – this is very fun. Very nicely done

-- Steve, New Zealand, www.steveracz.com

I think I’d call this “whimsical.” I like it.

amazing!!!

-- Iannlb

extraordinary. Not sure how I missed this one.
Great “eyes”

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Nice! I like the creative work and quality execution of your idea. Its much more difficult to make something that isn’t all straight edges and ninety degree angles. Fitting things must have taken a lot of time!

Good luck on the contest!

Wow…That’s creative! Well done.

Sorry I have not commented until now, but that is one truly amazing project.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Congratulations! Great imagination and workmanship. I really LOVE this piece. It’s so fun and beautiful. Would you be willing to share how you are holding the wooden hinges in place?

I also like the doors you made for your Dad’s studio. I’d like to see more photos of them.

I must have been living under a rock! I never saw this one. Great build and design.

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

amazing construction. envious of ur adventerous detail in this furniture piece, ive been able to find way to show unique artsmanship in sculptures but not as great as this. amazed, where you from man?

What I like Best about this piece is the woodworker isn’t there, you are seeing the wood talk to you and expose itself to you. Every piece conceals the worker who put his enormous talent into the piece and it became completely concealed (at least to me). The wood speaks out loud and clear, it laughs, it smiles, it invites you to feel the joy it has collected within and of course it shows you the beauty of the maker, both the earthly one and the heavenly one. I’ve never seen such a masterful piece of engineering become so natural.

I absolutely love this ‘funky furniture’. How do you begin designing this stuff? Do you see it in your mind’s eye and let it evolve during construction or is it planned out ahead of time? Wow!! Congratulations.

you truely must have sawdust in your viens awesome job

-- I love this site !

You’ve got to be kidding! What tools did you use to make this? Not a table saw for sure. Hand planing? Jigsaw? The mind boggles!
