Sam...
George...
So the show went real well last night. My friend Peter did the three great drawings of Sam Maloof, George Nakashima, and James Krenov that you can see above and I had some new pieces as well. The table below came from my friend Mohrgan's tree and is a fabulous bookmatched set from a crotch of his Maple tree.
I'm getting my head around the butterfly joint and I'm getting confident in making them nice and tight. I used some Jatoba for the butterflies and I really like the colour match with the maple. Speaking of colour, the Padauk desk seen below came out really well.
Padauk is a wood most people don't know about and it's funny how many people asked me how I stained the top to get it that colour. Stain is not really something I use very often (or ever really) and it's funny to see the perplexed look on peoples' faces when I tell them that that's what the real colour is. So all in all a good night, and a special thanks to all of you who made it out!
