This was one of the first piece of furniture I ever made. I made it when I was taking cabinetmaking in college. It was the first quarters final grade. we had to use nothing but hand tool to take it from rough stock to finish. with the exception of being able to route the top. I even added the bear inlaid. It was a fun project and taught me a lot coming from a carpenters background.
I am trying to get myself back to that slow down and take your time pace, but it’s hard after 30 years of get it done yesterday mentality.

magnificent—the bear is walking in the mountains!! brilliant.
aw yes, the “slowing down” stage of life. My slowing down stage is taking me a long time in some areas of my life but for the most part I’m really enjoying what life has to offer. It truly is all about the journey and not the destination.

That’s a great table by any standards, but with just hand tools? Wow!

Great project with the hand tools. It would be great with any kind of tools. But a very nice job.

Great job. Hand tools? You’re a better man than I.
