Benji…that is awesome, the only thing I would of done is post more pictures. LOL

-- Vince

Benji, that is beautiful. I admire your patience in shaping the drawer fronts. Like, Vince, post more pictures in the future. Thank you for sharing!

-- Regret- the feeling you get just after you do something really stupid.

Fabulous Benji. It seems to me that these are timeless designs that can only increase in value.

Beautiful job Benji.

Wow …. how do you create the contours in the drawer fronts?

Once again, the design, materials and the exectution are at the highest level! Fantastic! Seeing what you create is pure enjoyment for me!

This is some work of art!

Is there a word to describe the type of furniture building that involves the abstract, swirling carving of the wood used in furniture (besides gorgeous)? Seems like there should be. If not, let’s invent one. Benji Style, Reyes Treatment? I can see I’m going to have to become much more familiar with exotic woods to really appreciate them fully. This lovely piece reminds me of luscious swirls of chocolate. Something edible. Something to run one’s hand over. Tactile, warm.

You, know, Benji…How about a piece that doesn’t have a flat top? What would it be like to have a top with the same type of swirls? If you wanted to decorate that type of top, toss on a few orchids or pebbles of jade. I’m not a knick-knack type of person anyway and don’t like anything on top of a work of art, so why keep it flat? It wouldn’t even have to be sand-duned, how about something geometric with angles? Would the wood stand up to that? Or, have you already done it and we just haven’t seen a picture yet? I hope we get to see a lot more of your earlier work.

@ Swirt, I sculpt them using different gouges.
Thanks for your comments guys!

@Gnome, I’m still waiting for photos of some of my old works from clients and friends. I’ll be posting them as soon as I get hold of the photos. Thanks for the comments!

Fantastic ! Benji…A real work of art. I would assume it is very heavy because of the woods you used.

-- Every step of any project should be considered your masterpiece if you want the finished product to reflect the quality of your work. http://www.FineArtBoxes.com

Truly amazing and beautiful…in a league of masters.
