A very nice project inexpensive materials and very practicle....I could put this in the Design Forum....if the response is favorable:rolleyes:

The maker asked himself if he could.

And failed to ask himself if he should.

I do admire the technique used to radius the bend, but that cup holder reminds me of my days doing the "Hunt for Red October" in the North Sea. Gave me the heebie's.
The Tin Knockers that work with Glen Clabo used to make them for us.;)
I'm sure he could set you up with some, at Goverment discount prices.:D

I can't really tell if that is all "inlaid", or "marquetry", but in either case, I'll bet it took a Loooooong time to put all those pieces together, and the "Picture" in the center of the side is kinda neat but vague. Looks like the chair's base, seat & back were carved out of a tree stump, with an armrest on the right side, and a beverage/writing table on the front left side, all facing the very functional Insulated Beverage holder. Must be from one of those "Artsy Fartsy" studios, right?:D

[Roger Myers]

I like the color of the cooler....:)

Mark ---

Once again, your exquisite designs astonish us all.

I agree with Norman...that stunning random marquetry must have taken forever to do.

I did kinda like the solid pine block end table on the site, though.

Mark,
Nice grain matching, but it must be a bit hard on a hand plane iron during the final smoothing. I like the exposed joinery details.

[Jim Becker]

Kind like the "postal" style popular on street corners. Excellent execution...umm...maybe not the right word in retrospect... :D :D :D

[Mark Singer]

Thanks guys...I actually cannot take credit for this finely executed piece....I did a search on Google Images for "OSB Furniture " and this wonderfully designed and finely executed beverage table was revealed....perhaps the crafstman is allready an SMC member:rolleyes:

Ummm... I'm not sure if I should ask why you were SEARCHING for OSB furniture:eek: , but I will anyway.

It gives us a point of reference for the wonderful stuff made by Creekers;)

[Steve Beadle]

So when can we expect to see this featured in the FWW gallery?:rolleyes:

[Byron Trantham]

Now that's a side table!:rolleyes:

[Dan Larson]

Something for us to aspire to, perhaps?:D

But seriously, it's interesting to note that Sam Maloof made his first furniture from lousy cast off plywood. Even starting from total junk, Sam managed to make it beautiful. A lesson I try to keep in mind when I am eyeballing the rack of expensive figured hardwoods at my local lumber yard. I'm better off putting extra effort into improving my design and execution. I'm not ready for the good stuff yet...

If you really use the beverage holder and drink the contents...even this table will start to look beautifuuuuul:cool:

[Dan Larson]

Sadly no optional large beverage holder is available. Where does one put the bottle of Concha y Toro Cabernet?
