.....you may receive a new commission :)

This is an older design I haven't made since around 2000.

Went looking for the jigs to make another one after receiving a new commission.

Apparently I decided I wasn't going to make them anymore and tossed the jigs, sigh...

The client supplied the quilted maple and is also doing their own upholstery. Standing in for the photo is handwoven fabric by Jane Evans.

I like it a lot, Don. With the quilted maple I hope the client will use some kind of quilted fabric. ..Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks Yonak !

I suggested black leather but the clients wife will likely choose something to match their wall color :)

Beautiful piece and I know what you mean. I gave away two pickup loads of plywood scraps and two days later had to cut a 1’x2’ piece out of a full sheet
