I like the care given to the grain matching and the way the legs are presented.

A single picture does not a gallery make; am I missing a link somewhere to more?

Top work, Brian! I just let my FWW sub expire, typical! as Simon says, great work on the grain match and quality.

Congratulations Brian! !
I love the very tight gaps and the way the front of the piece almost looks like a single board - the whole thing is in nearly the same plane and looks nearly seamless. The grain match is perfect. And it's just so minimalist, which I love. No adornment or distractions. The wood speaks for itself. I think Krenov would have approved.

Not at all surprised Brian. I've always found your work impressive and done to a high standard. Your video on hand-cut blind dados from that build served as my primer on the subject. Something for which I am very grateful. I look forward to seeing more of your projects here and in the pages of FWW. Kudos.

Beautiful work. How many hours would you say it took from start to finish? Us lesser mortals want to know.
Brian Holcombe
02-15-2019, 3:04 PM
Thank you, both!
Dan, not sure exactly, but it took a lot of them! :D For the longer term projects I find it's best if I don't track hours (I charge based on my up front quotes).
