    An Introduction

    Good Afternoon fellow Creekers.For a while now I've been a lurker,but decided to join a couple of months ago.Nice bunch of people here.I've waited till I got a chance to take some pictures of some of my work.Here are some pics of a cherry side table I made while taking a 1 week course with craftsman Hendrik Varju.I consider myself as a newbie,woodworking off and on for the last 5 years.
    It is forums like this that speed up the learning curve.

    Cheers,
    Rich

    welcome to the creek..
    there are a bunch of nice folks here. no sniping that I can see. your project looks pretty good for a "newbe". The flutes look real good. It is hard not to burn cherry if you did it with a router. The little cock bead is also a nice touch. you will be able to ask questions and learn a lot here from some of the really good ww's. So, now that your done with this what is next?

    kind regards

    lou

    Wow, that is just what I am looking for. My wife wants a table like that for the bedroom. I may have to copy it. I really like the details. Can you post some general dimensions? Did you taper all four sides of the legs?

    Rich,

    That table looks great! I really like the sapwood in the top, really sets it off!
