Made these for my wife as an anniversary present. The design is from Woodsmith #185. Made from maple and paduk, finished with four light coats of Arm-R-Seal.

The second picture is the pile of paduk pieces that I managed to cut with half the joints on the wrong side. Sigh.

Thanks for looking!

I saw those too. Nice job!

Maybe you can use the ‘mistakes’ for a doll house size pergola? :)

Good Job.
I attemted the same project. I started out building 6 ended up with 3. I also have a large pile wiht the joints on the wrong side so your not alone. Yours ended up better than mine.

Very nice. I also built the candle towers and like yourself and others I had a few wrong side grilles.
They are a nice addition to our fireplace.

Very nice project. Seems oriental in design—perhaps your choice of wood lends itself to that.

Great job on the project. I noticed that one and have it on my “to do” list which is about 800 projects long :) These came out really nice.

Thanks for all the comments!

If I was doing it over again, I’d come up with a way to cut the joinery on the grille pieces as solid stock before cutting them to into strips and then finished length. Working with those small pieces on the table saw made me a little nervous.

Thanks,
Rob
