Nice work. The spline holding the trim on the tabletop is a nice touch.

Nice design, stunning wood.

Superb.

Good save. Nice piece.

Thanks, tuna. This one was fun. The way a visit to the dentist is fun.

Thousands, no doubt. Good question, Mike.

Every so often I get compulsive and have to make a fully detailed model—all the dovetails, mortises, grooves, and hardware. Case in point: This Regency-style desk that I spotted on the 1stdibs.com web site. The original was made of oak in about 1820.
Enjoy.

Nice work, especially on the cushion.

Let me look into that L i am. The SketchUcation shop is a new one on me.

Thanks, gents.

Couldn't resist modeling this Chinoiserie mantel clock, made in England by Asprey International in the 1930s. The pagoda roof involved lots of work with Curviloft.
Enjoy.

Well done!

I recently came across the furniture by IZM, a Canadian design-build firm founded in 2002. Here's a suite of pieces that intrigued me most: The "Hypnotizm" bench; the "Iconoclast" dining table, with its base of massive timbers angled every which way; and the "Sine" end table, a solid wood sculpture. I did the render in Twilight.
Enjoy.

Great work. I especially like the curved ends of the desktop.

Superb. You should avoid work more often.

Actually, this was way easier than the @#!!@@##@X faux bamboo desk. So many elements are identical that I covered a lot of ground in a jiffy. Following some of Dave R's advice, I modeled half, then copied and flipped it. And I was lucky to have really good photos to work from. The biggest challenge was trying to figure out what went where at the base. Don't look too closely.

Thanks.

How I spent the afternoon: Modeling a baroque German wardrobe from the early 1700s. Luckily, the images I worked from, on 1stdibs.com, were really sharp and clear. I still have to add the hinge straps to the inside of the doors. Maybe someday. The original was really built for the ages. Most of the parts are a good inch thick.
Enjoy.

Excellent work.

Thank you, tuna.
