That's really a nice piece, Carl. I'm not sure I want to show it to my wife, though...looks like something she'd want me to try!

Your not only a good carver but handy as well. A mallet in my hand may be OK but put a hammer and some carpender tools near me....well let's just say I'm pathetic so I don't even try. You have some unique looking woodwork on that table - well done.

Beautiful table. I can't wait to see it all finished. Carving Celtic knots is on my "to do" list.

OK, so that's gorgeous. I am not familiar with the term "dolmon" so could you educate me please. I love the knotwork on the verticals, but including them in the tusks for the mortise joints was brilliant.
Great piece of wood on top too! The finish will no doubt bring it to life! '
Pierce work is a whole new dimension to carving, and you've got a real talent for it.

Hello Carl,

That table is just striking! How long did it take you?

How are the lamps coming along?

Excellent workmanship.

Bernie

How is the top attached to the legs?
That sure is pretty wood.
