DOH! Well if you can’t find another piece of walnut that matches well you could always just ship all of the pieces over to me!

Though I really like the design and hope you decide to finish it!!

-- James - What's your excuse this time??

That’s Sand it, spit shine it and send it my way. I’ll put the last piece on for you.

What piece is missing?

You never know… some day, afer you die, you may become a famous artist and this piece, being so unique, will be the most valuable you ever made! :)

totally cool super design and joinery

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Too bad 3 of the legs aren’t a bit closer to center so the third could be lifted :-)) Nice work!!

I’m going to finish it as is and will post pics when it’s finished.
Thanks a bunch.

Here is the finished “walking” stool. Still have a couple more coats of finish to apply.
Quite pleased with it and almost want to keep it rather than sell. Maybe I’ll be lucky and no one will buy it.
Thanks again for helping make a negative into a positive.

See there!!! That’s how art is created. If it didn’t have the character it’d just be another well made and pretty bench. Now ya got something to really talk about. “Mistake hell! I designed it that way.”

I FORGOT TO ASK….Can I make one like it?

Sweet stool. If you have ever seen the movie “Beetlejuice” with Michael Keeton and Winona Rider in the 80’s it reminds me of a scene it it. I love the choice of wood and the jointery is top notch

Really nice looking walking table. That is a fantastic design, even if I say so myself. I love it. Great job.

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

is it artistic design or does it seem like one of the legs is going in the wrong direction?

Awesome project none the less – I love the walnut

-- What do you mean it's square? How did that happen?

Yep, “artistic design”, Yeah, that’s it, no doubt about it.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ;)

I am making a quilting hoop holder for the Wife.

I glued up oak 1×4’s with a slot so a 1×2 can go up and down. I added some butterflies on the edges.

I measured I marked and cut. The Butterflies are Wenge. 1 is lower than the other. I was gonna repair it.

She said no. That it was a design statement rather than a mistake. She said I should make a mistake on every piece now.

Something slight or proud. She said that could be my signature.

If anyone asks you just meant to do it.

-- Measure once cut twice....oh wait....ooops.

Would sell really well “Down Under”
I really really like it,,
Larry

-- Drink once, cut twice. New website up.... lazylarrywoodworks.com.au

It really has it all. Great wood, unique design and excellent craftsmanship. Really cool project…....

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Ok, now you got it, and you don’t want to sell it. But consider how much attention it will draw to the pieces you really want to sell. Display it along side the others. Then put a BIG sign on it that says “Not for sale!” Watch what happens. :)

Brian:

The joinery is absolutely fabulous. I wonder if you could steam bend the odd leg and put into the hole in the top. That would really cause a bunch of comments. I’d hate to think what you’d call it then.

All kidding aside, don’t give up the ship. I’ll bet that there is no-one reading this blog who hasn’t done the same sort of thing at least once in their career.

By the way, I grew up inWestmount. Where are you located?

Brian it came out fantastic. I love the leg design.

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

Brian, That’s a great design and would never think of changing it. I agree with dirtclod, put a big sign on it “NOT FOR SALE” and watch how people react.
