    And Lee, you are absolutely right: no one would ever name their own company after themselves, would they?

    (By the way, D&N stands for David and Nancy - we own our company--named after ourselves. Did we commit a faux pas???)

    Hmmm. Steve's Woodworking. Did I also booboo

    Here's my latest, a campaign chest, just out of the shop and waiting for a piece of glass to serve as an end table.

    Meanwhile. . . back on topic. Really nice chest Roy. Great color. What are the approximate dimensions? I'd enjoy hearing about the finish as well.

  9. A friend asked if I would make an enclosure for a dried flower from his brothers casket wreath. The project was made with coopered koa, maple burl, pine and mahogany woods. The inner frame is lighted with two leds, a yellow top light highlighting the surface and a lower red light illuminating the flower. In low ambient light, the rose appears to float. While the woodworking was basic, what made this project special was the emotion from which it was received.

    That's a problem: there are "favorites", "most impressive", "most complicated", "biggest challenges"...
    which list are you supposed to pick the "best" one from?

    This one is probably my favorite, but it's not all that high on the other lists.

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    Michael, The chest is in Woodsmith Vol 29 No 169. It's approx 24" X 24" and 16" deep. I modified a few minor things and finished with shellac.

    Alfredo, It's been a while.

    William,
    That is just beautiful. I can see why there was an emotional response when it was received.

    Here is a dresser I made for my son. I am a beginner, and there was a lot of "firsts" in this project. Plans came from Wood Mag.
