Thorsen side table challenge completed

A stunning piece. The detail is impressive. I think it really embodies the spirit of this challenge by injecting your personal touches into that plan.

Rog, I like the way your researched the design genre here. Your interpretations of the original is what creating custom fine furniture is all about. Your execution is truly lovely.

Hmmmm It’s getting harder and harder to think of putting mine up against those already posted!

Very nice interpretation!

Great!

Thank you to all. I took this challenge with the idea of just completing it and then after I started my competitive self took over. I would get one good idea, the legs, and I would say this won’t win sh-t so then came the top next with the bread board ends being offset upwards, then came the carving which was a real struggle of coming up with the right element. Thanks again to all!

I like this interpretation very much, one of my favorites in the challenge. Perfect subject choice for the carving, it fits the piece very much.

Great table, Rog. Of course you had to get your carving skills in there to show the rest of us up. :-)
