Woke up at about 2:30 this morning and all of a sudden realized how to do the cloud lift in the lattice work (I do that alot – wake up after pondering a problem and know just what I want to do) – anyhow, it worked okay! That was the last big hurdle holding me up.
I refit the drawer runners so they wouldn’t show, dry fit (again…seems like the 30th time) and started the inlay for the rest of the pieces ( which will take me awhile! ) I even found time to start the video tour of our shop (I put in the part showing one of the tables here). Then I had to go to work, but overall, it was a productive morning!
So this is what its going to look like ( I think!) – does this look proportionate?

It looks great – traditional yet, at the same time, original.

Very nice, the cloud lift makes your lattice work blend in with the apron.
Also, a great job with the video.

great way to make it your own… while keeping a bit of the original flavor.

Been reading for awhile now about cloud lift but I still don’t know what it is just that the piece always look nice. Does the cloud lift put a milky tone to the piece or just what is a cloud lift?

The cloud lift refers to the cut in the aprons and the shelf that gives it the illusion that it is lifted up. If I’m mistaken, I appologize.
