my first table

this is wonderful. I love the buffalo (?) outlines on the edges.

I like it, I hate paint, but this was done in very good taste… maybe after you paint it on, you could use a carver’s knife or chisel (or both?) to remove the painted part?

I’ve recently decided to stay away from Anita Furniture… i.e. Anita Dresser, Anita Table, Anita Something, that I don’t own because I:
1) am too cheap to spend good money on Quality
2) am too broke to be able to buy cheap particle board furniture from Wal-Mart.
3) don’t really want to pay you what you’re worth, and hope I can get a beautiful piece of furniture, hand-crafted for next to nothing.

Ed, you are an artist. Just like someone who is creating a painting, only your canvas is made of wood. Don’t let anyone conform you into a mass producing particle board creating robot that sells crap for cash.

Michelangelo didn’t paint houses, Sherwin Williams and Kelly Moore did.

Nice looking Ambrosia Maple on the top.

I like your style! Good luck with the sales end. I’d look into doing some inlay work if I were you. I think it would high light your art.

Beautiful work Ed. I love that wood! And I agree with Dennis. With your artistic ability, you really should take a shot at inlaying. Thanks for sharing.

First table? What a way to start!

A beautiful job of woodworking, & art combo.
