Finished first real project

[Roger Reynolds]

When my daughter got engaged last year I offered to make her the bedroom set published in several issues of Wood magazine as a wedding gift. Well, after several tool purchases, and a 6 month break for medical reasons I am ready to deliver the nightstands (the mirror has already been delivered). A little late as she was married in December. They are red oak finished with Target USL. Thanks to all who participate in this forum as I have learned a great deal. Next is the bed. I think I'm hooked.

Roger...........Wow! First real project? You missed your calling! BTW Dad, she and her hubby will forgive you and understand! They'll cherish these! I hope you signed and dated them for future generations to ogle!

[Tom Pritchard]

Great job Roger, the tables are beautiful!

...I think I'm hooked.
As well you should be, since it looks like you have the knack. ;) Very nice job all around.

Roger, great looking projects! How many "unreal" projects did it take to get to this point? :p :D

[Jerry Olexa]

Great work esp for a "first". Better than some of my current stuff...

[Mark Singer]

Excellent! I like the work and the design a lot!

[Ken Shoemaker]

Very well done... The finish is very nice...

[Karl Laustrup]

Great job Roger.

As Ken alluded to, I hope you are signing and dating these pieces as I'm sure they will be heirlooms.

This is addicting isn't it? ;) :)

Hey Roger, like Ken said, I'm betting all is forgiven for the late gifts! Those are beautiful! :) Your daughter and new hubby are lucky folks! :) :cool:

[Jim Becker]

Beautiful job on a great gift, Roger!!

[John Kain]

Fantastic work! Envy! I have Envy!

[Pete Harbin]

Really beautiful Roger! You've just set some heirlooms on their way into your family's history. I'm sure your daughter and SIL love them.
