Bill WIlson Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 An heirloom piece, to be sure. Very well done! Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preprius Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 How do we envision this kind of work before starting. Dave Monk shows this ability time after time. He also has something more to each art piece. Maybe smoother sanding? better finish techniques? The expert craftmanship just shows. But probably the end vision of elegant outcome is what I lack. Me.

The pattern is from the book The Art Of The Scroll Saw. The table is my design. Thank you Gene Howe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Well Dave, as usual you again turned out a piece with quality that I will never be able to come close to matching. I love everything you make, as it is always top notch. I do not see this quality come from many other people. You obviously know what you are doing and never cut corners. Excellence personified.
