My favorite piece(s) of 2007:
(I really need to work on my furniture fotog skills, though, because I know they look better than this)

Favorite was my Morris Chair. Been wanting to make one for a long time. Made full use of my Jet Mortiser, even used it to allow square pegs to pin the tenons. A little complexity of angled tenons and mortises and the use of a lock miter to show four QS faces on the legs. Very pleased with the outcome. Just needs a nice shellac topcoat and then off to the upholsterer for leather cushions that my butt is destined for!

I'd say this walnut rocker. I've made a few but for 2007 this one came out very well.

I am wow-ed by all the pieces I see creekers putting out all year long. It's a great inspiration.

I made a lot of furniture in 2007 and a couple of pieces stand out. The teak sofa for a friend is one...It had challenging exposed joinery like the mitered dovtails. and really came nicely together.

The bath cabinet for my friend Stan is another fun project
Here matching the wood and working to close tolerances using hand tools...I felt like a real woodworker

Hardly "fine woodworking", but my favorite pieces were a couple things I did for the back yard after the new patio went in:

Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

Lee,
Very nice- I could look at that all day long - it's either that or out my window staring at 20 degree weather with blowing and drifting snow all over- I say your work presentation is much more gratifying- nice Job!

Without a doubt, it would have to be this television armoir that I built for our home to house the new Vizio LCD television.
Really came out sharp.
