Thanks, Robert, but I'm not a Blender guy. Modeling bamboo in SketchUp is easier than learning Blender, at least for me.
Best,

Here's the (almost) finished piece. I have to add the drawers. Which I may or may not do. I've already invested more time than I should have on this model.
Enjoy.

The thing about modeling bamboo is that it feels so good when you stop.
Thanks for the good words, HornoOxx.

A faux bamboo desk. The original was made in England in about 1950. I've done most of the hard stuff, and I'm learning to dislike bamboo—real or faux.
Enjoy.

Thank you, Dave.

Beautiful wood, Box. Don't stop now.

Thank you, sir.

My latest: An English display cabinet, veneered in satinwood and made in about 1900. Enjoy.

Yep, pbacot. The finishing went quickly.
Enjoy!

I'm about half-way finished with a model of a vitrine, or display cabinet, from nineteenth century France. The original is made of bleached oak.

thanks, tuna. I'll render them one of these days . . . .

Cool. Could you do a tutorial on the image processing you did?

A trio of lamps caught my eye recently. On the left is an anthropomorphic table lamp in oak, designed in the 1960s. In the middle is a brass lamp with silk shade, designed by Josef Hoffmann in the early twentieth century. And on the right is a Bauhaus-style lamp in nickel-plated brass, designed in the Czech Republic in the mid-1930s.
Enjoy!

Benches of exotic hardwoods have their place. Case in point: The two shown here, by Frank Strazza, a superb woodworker in Texas. The contrasting hardwoods make the dovetails really pop. He uses Benchcrafted vise hardware, arguably the best for these Roubo-style benches. The image of the marquetry on the vise jaw is from a bench Strazza built for a violin-maker. I think Strazza also plays violin.

You're right, tuna: Not very practical. But attention-grabbing, yea.

I tuned my TV to MSNBC today, as usual. One of the commentators was Robert Gibbs, who had been President Obama's press secretary. I haven't a clue what he was saying because I couldn't take my eyes off the bookcase in the background. So I modeled it. (You could say the shelves are left-leaning, like MSNBC's politics.)
Enjoy.

Like Tuna said, nice.

I understand that the movement took its name from the Dylan lyric, "stuck inside a mobile with those Memphis blues again." Of course.
