rustic works from the Gizzard

beautiful table.
And isn’t that bear idea brilliant!

—-again Dennis; great tables here!
....and yes, I especially like the table made with the use of poplar wood.

Poplar is a good hardwood to work with for rustic as it drys fast, has little movement when used and actually does not split readily when nailed. Poplar also machines, planes and glues up very well. A great wood for rustic furniture and cabinets.

I see that you are developing your own set of rustic standards and finding your own ‘niche’. Very good artistic expression and thanks for sharing!
GODSPEED,

I love it. I would have been really impressed had you hand carved the Bear. As it is, I’m simply impressed. Great Idea. You do very nice work, I love the fact that you can take a dead branch and turn it into a great “Work of Art”.
Keep it Up !

Very nice Dennis.
You could have fooled me about the Bear not being wood. A good paint job. You saved yourself some time with ready made Bear. Now you have more time to make some more things.

Love how it looks like the bear is pushing the top off the legs. what a great, playful, piece!

Thank you all for you kind remarks. I’m sorry I didn’t reply sooner, but one of my favorite “tools” up and died on me a few days ago. My computer. Finally got that remedied.
Just finished a computer table top I put on an old sewing machine stand I picked up the other day. It’s working just fine. : )
Thanks again.

I like this, the bear is a really nice idea and I love the shape of the top.
