i like that when you say rustic, it doesn’t mean cheap. We’ve got a few people on this site that understand a rustic look means that care went into the contruction and that it isn’t overly embelished, but is still high qaulity. I feel that this means the items have a warmth to it.

I feel like some design TV shows have hijacked the word and made it to mean cheap. Keep up the good work and continue the fight to restore the classiness that should be associated with “rustic” pieces!

Really nice.

Some very distinct grain in this wood, I’m not usually an oak lover, but this looks very nice, and you did a great job in construction of it.

That is some nice looking wood and it looks like a really nice piece of work in the pictures. If the photos don’t do it justice as you say, then it must be a real thing of beauty.

It looks pretty good to me. I like rustic when it’s solid, and this looks just that. Good job!

-- Chris

That wood was the perfect choice for this project. Even though the finish didn’t show well in the photos your craftsmanship sure did.

Yes, yes, yes! I haven’t posted for a while but I had to comment on this. Never mind the drum sander, get a cabinet scraper like a Stanley/Record No 80 – these are the dog’s testicles. A really excellent job.

DKol, welcome to LJ. I hope you enjoy it here. This is a great looking piece. Great choice of wood and I like the design. So what kind of drum sander did you end up with?

Thanks for posting it.
