This is incredible! How long did it take to make?

Its hard to say because I picked away at it between a couple other projects. Just guessing, maybe 15 hours at the most.

Woah, that seems really quick! Do you have a great deal of woodworking experience?

pinkraisons@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I have been doing it as a hobby for about 20 years or so.

Well the experience clearly shows! Are you keeping the table or selling?

pinkraisons@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I used to sell stuff but had to many bad experiences with buyers so now I just give stuff away to friends and family. I don't have a spot for this so I'll probably give it away as well.

Shame about the bad experiences with buyers but lucky friends and family!

Beautiful mid-century modern work. sculpting the lines on the legs had to be a challenge, and I love the recessed pull. Well done!

Thank you.

Wow. That looks amazing.

Was it difficult? I think this is beyond my skill for the time being.

pinkraisons@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y

No, it was actually pretty simple and didn't take that long. It looks complex because of the curves but if you draw out a full sized template then it's pretty easy.

I think that tree would be proud

Wow that is a gorgeous piece. Treat yourself to the local ice cream joint or something you like, because you definitely deserve a reward for a job well done!

Wow! Love the finish, do you take commissions?

pinkraisons@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Sorry, no I don’t.

I'd also like to point out that I don't recall ever seeing an Imgur album expando with sideways scroll, even on Reddit.

EDIT: sideways swipe, more specifically.

That is so awesome, I love the design choices for the drawer and leg slant!
