Geeezzz….Girl you are special. Like i said three minutes ago on your other piece.. The grain pattern sets Greatness from normality. You do exceptional work. Congradulations on the bench contest i gave you my first place vote and these would get the same. Honored to be able to see your work !!!

Cathy, Your work is beautiful. Is the Koa 3/4” or is it veneer? What is the finish on the piece? Joe

Very nice work, it’s very attractive. I love your expression “sister boards” since I am a sawyer, I may drop my term book matched and adopt your term it just sounds more organic.

-- Urban logger, http://nelsonwoodworks.biz/

A total WOW!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

I love that! Wow, the grain is in your face beautiful.

-- so much wood, so little time. Bradford.

Definite eye grabber with all the wild grain patterns. Nicely done.

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

amazing…

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

Great looking cabinet.
I agree about the wood grain affecting the appearance of a project. Poor grain choices or placement is one critical comment I have had on some otherwise great pieces others have posted here.

-- Les B, Oregon

Awesome job, and i agree too your grain matching is immaculate

As in Eddie Aikau? Man, I miss Hawaii! The Koa is beautiful – and your craftsmanship certainly looks worthy of such a fine material!

very nice work

The Koa is beautiful. The work is beautiful The chest is outstanding. I bought a bunch of walnut from a sawmill and after it was stored in my shop I started to find the ends of some of the boards were similiar. I was able to get about 3 logs with 6-7 boards that are sisters.

I also like that term instead of book matched.

A great creation.

well maybe i should look at these in order but that is not how i do things, always putting the wagon in front of the horse. i think that i will have to go out and find some Koa, that is one bueatifull cabinet. this is just me but i had a hard time seeing the nice carvings with the nice grain pattern. just the same keep up the great work

-- mjhaines
