Nice, very nice. Beautiful design Paul I also like the mariners compass on the floor.

I have seen a glimpse or two of this sideboard in one of your posts Paul, but never the whole thing. It is a gorgeous piece of furniture and I don’t mean just the marquetry, although that is also excellent. Good design and the excellent work make this a keeper no matter it’s age.

Just gorgeous, Paul. Your retirement has been one of the most productive I’ve ever seen!

Beautiful! I love the way the vine flows thought the piece. It’s a great greeting coming in an entrance!

Thanks everyone.
Barb, I have a work ethic. Before I retired I built things and did business. Now I don’t have to do the business stuff any more. Other that that, not much has changed. :-)

I can see why this would be your wife’s favourite. A gorgeous piece!

Lovely piece. I can see why your wife loves it.

That’s a beautiful piece Paul.

Marquetry inlay that flows through the different faces of a piece without interruption is fascinating.

Great work.

One day I come over the rocks and view this magnificent piece in person and also that piece of equipment you call the CHEVY !!
I am just fascinated by the precision that that tool is capable of now that I own some pieces that have been made on it and I have to see it .

Any time Klaus (May to October). You will be welcome.

Paul,

This, too, is exquisite. All your work is absolutely outstanding.

Paul, amazing work, as always. You spoil us here with your projects.

Damnit Paul,
Do you have to put an inlay in everything you do? I’m tired of seeing such fine work all the time, can’t you just post something normal with some flaws in it.

(I hope you can get my dry humor)

Just in case not, It’s really amazing work that you do.
You really put a part of yourself into every piece, and it shows brilliantly.

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.

Beautiful sideboard Paul the design is way cool and your fantastic marquetry sends it into the outer hemisphere of great pieces
