Gorgeous looking stuff. Kind of weird painting wood to look like wood. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

The woodworking is beautiful, but I’m blown away with the finish. Does the finish look that good in person?? If it does, that is a wicked piece…

Thanks for sharing and showing us what we can do with great finishes.

Yep, the finish deos look that good and better in person. He is the best finisher I know bar none, and I’ve seen a lot. Thanks for the compliments.

Who would have guessed what was behind the finish – Mike Marriot did a great job

Very nice! I’m blown away with the finish. The woodworking is well done and worthy of the finish.

A few questions…

Are those HVAC vents or molding details in the baseboard? Either way, they look nice.

Did you make or outsource the doors?

Did anyone get any hints on why the customer didn’t want real wood? The finished product looks terrific, but I love to understand customer thought processes.

Very fine craftsman ww.
Great job both of you.

Beechpilotbarry, that is a moulding inserted into a groove in the base. It is the same detail that is right above the doors. I made the arched door because it was faster and easier then sending a template to the door company, however, since we did this whole house and we need to make money somehow, we did order the doors. It was the designers choice to go with a faux finish that mimics more of a burl effect. I think he did great, but I still would rather see the grain of real wood. Thanks for the comments

Beautiful work, your finish man is awsome. Good job.

Your work is just so absolutely amazing and this is no exception. Looking at your work is a journey in woodworking for me. I would love to see any of your work in person. I thank you for sharing.
PEACE!!!

Great job. Looks like some of the work we have been doing lately. As for the finish….....who knows what the thought processes are of some of the designers we all deal with. Like using alder and painting it black or using walnut and putting a dark finish on it that you can’t even see the grain. Sometimes I wonder where they were schooled at.
Again, great work and the finisher should be commended on a job well done.

I usually cringe when I hear that people painted wood… but that looks great! Your attention to the details in the project really highlight your craftsmanship.

Hi Kolwdwkr;

Truly inspiring workmanship!

I’m with you in agreeing the finish is brilliant, but would still prefer to see the wood.

As always, Great job!
