Sophmore Year End Tables

looks super

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Welcome to LJ’s-

I wish I had your skill when I was in High School. I recently was at my Mom’s house, and I got to revisit some of my earliest work, and I will say that I am humbled by it. Looking back is easy, but nothing can be done about it. Looking forward is where you can actually make change happen.

I will offer one piece of constructive criticism. When you pick boards for flat pannels, try to get all of the boards with similiar grain patterns and alignment. While not immediately obvious, when your eye develops, the grain patterns will actually become a part of the piece itself. If you look at some of your pictures, the cathedrals in the oak run left, right and whatnot. You can actually compose a pannel such that it looks like “one piece of wood” visually. It takes a little more time, and may produce a little more waste, but the end product will be vastly more balanced.

Good luck with your next project.

These tables look great! I look forward to seeing your next project.
