The combined effort of two brothers love of woodworking.

It is absolutely a beautiful piece, Cosmo! A great combined effort! I found that since I have a partner, it has not only expanded the type of patterns I offer people, but it also stimulates my creativity. Not everyone can work with a partner, but when it does work it seems that things come out better than ever and you and your brother are fine examples of this. You each have your strengths in woodworking and you two did a fine job combining them to create this beautiful piece. I am sure you will treasure it always.

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story with us. It certainly shows that “two heads can be better than one!”

You are to be commended for your combined effort because your work turned out great, so congratulations; not only so, however, you are to be commended for the both of you having such a close and mutually respectful relationship with each other. I love my brother and we have worked together for 40 years. We are totally different yet so much alike. It always warms my heart to hear of these wonderful relationships between siblings. May it ever be so.

Mike, you and your brother most definitely make one “Bad To The Bone” team. You two not only built a beautiful piece, but got to experience it together. That my fried makes it priceless. I cant get over how cool it all mashes together. There is no doubt you two make one awesome team.

Ohhh and you had to mention another project upcoming. Now you are going to have us all on edge waiting on it….lol

Good stuff Mike…. Most definitely thanks for sharing with us all….

Good story & an amazing piece! The Fleur de Lis is beautiful. Being from Louisiana myself I am partial to them. Very Saintly (if you get my drift).

Great piece and story to go with it, but who get to keep the cabinet? Or is it on a time share basis??? ;-)

-- Have a great day.

Very nice work there Mike. The scrollsaw is NOT my friend. For now I’ll stick with things that don’t take so much skill. LOL! I should fix that one of these days.
