Beautiful work guys, that's one thing you don't see much in here Is wood grain and the deep finish. Lots of glass, acrylic and epoxy finishes and the show tanks catch most of the attention.
Stunning finish @jsker @don_chuwish. I used to work a lot with wood remodeling my homes and still enjoy making things, only my wife demands only CCC .... Carolina Crafted Customs (Richardson Bro.)
so my neighbors now enjoy my works :( But all is not Lost because One cannot buy this in a Beauteque! and you can hide alot with grout :D

A little something I made today for my wife as a valentines gift. We decided a long time ago that we do not give each other gifts for holidays, birthdays etc. Instead we try to get what we want and do the things we want through the year. As some know we have had a very rough few months and I wanted to give her something so she knows I’m thinking about her and really appreciate everything she does, especially with me being hurt. It’s nothing special but something I think she will like. It’s made with scraps from the trim in the hallway we just redid mixed with some scraps of hardwood from repairing some of the floor in the hall. The colors are every color we have used paining our house (our first home together). Like I said it’s not much but I think it came out pretty cool.

And yes, I use my old tank stand for a work bench lol.

That kinda reminds me of some wall art I made a couple years back or so as an anniversary gift to my wife of one of our wedding pictures 10F968B7-5A58-446E-BE2E-C074B3A4B1B2.png

Here's my project. Copied the plan from a stand I saw online. Forgot to take off the coffe cup. Might add a beer holder. IMG_0016(1).JPG
This is absolutely amazing. Got to love the look of quartersawn oak. I would have felt bad putting a box of water on this thing it is so beautiful! Great work.

I would love to see more pictures on how you did the paneling. Is it just routed dado slots?

The slots were cut with a dado blade on a table saw. Then each panel was fitted into the rails and styles with rabbets.
