If I had somewhere appropriate to put it, I would throw out the $840 for this Komfort loveseat with new foam and upholstery

[sugarbutch]

Why do you need two?

 

[SkinnyGoomba]

Lols nice guess.

Building a media credenza. This piece will be cut into the top and both sides, so that the grain matches full way through.

Last update for this bench, mostly finished.

Vises are all functional now.

At first I thought those little drawers were for placing shoes. Imagine how many pairs of shoes you can fit in that cabinet, lol.

Nice, SG, looks like you're using walnut for the credenza?

 

[SkinnyGoomba]

Thanks. Yup, the credenza will be a walnut case with maple burl doors in walnut frames.

lately I've really been loving van Rossum's use of natural materials.

I have been keeping an eye on this (Kops) table

Thanks to the SF site bot, I now realize there's a furniture thread here. Been spending my time at the thrift thread. Table above reminded me of one I made almost 10 years ago. Well actually, when I found the picture, I realized there are more differences than similarities, but I thought I'd share anyways.


While I'm in the mood to brag, an office I built a while ago. I hand cut and laid up the Makore veneer so it follows the curve of the top, bought a 16'x7' vacuum bag just for the project. The top as you can see goes all the way around the back and ends at the wall with the window. It has only one joint. What isn't makore is birdseye maple, glass or stainless.

That looks to nice to work on.

I would hate to set a single metal tool down on that surface!

Perhaps the bench has a different purpose entirely.
