Ebony Accents on Curly Cherry

Jim Shaver - Oakville, Ontario

>Hi,

I have been working on a project this last month that I had put aside from last year.

Last year I took a class at Mark Adams with Thomas Stangeland, a Greene and Greene class. I got side tracked on a few things and just came back to it about 4 weeks ago when I finally glued it up.

This last week has been all about ebony accents. I completed them yesterday. The server is still not done and now will have to wait till next spring for the drawers and details to be completed while I recover from my hip surgery tomorrow.

It feels good to get the details of the ebony completed, I really like the way the curly cherry works with it too...not tradional but It's my design.

The shop is winterized as well, I might turn a few pens in October, but my season is now closed..

Take care,

Jim

>and recovery be quick. My ex-boss had hip surgery a couple of years back and has been endlessly grateful for it - she found her recovery went more quickly than she expected. Hope yours does too.

Stunning piece of work Jim

Wiley Horne--So. Calif.

>The breadboard ends and the splines are so beautifully done, as are the brackets between legs and lower rail! Fantastic cut of cherry, which of course will darken and get ever better as it ages--as you will, after your hip operation and therapy. Warmest wishes for a good recovery.

Damn, I enjoy seeing your work Jim!

Dominic Greco in Richboro PA

>Jim,

What a fantastic looking piece of furniture! And the accents will make it look even more "elegant".

But I have to say, what caught my eye was the cherry. Man I love seeing it "in the raw"!

See ya around,

Dominic

>Damn Jim, that is beautiful work! A wonderful combination of timber choice, design and excellence in construction. And all this in the face of those terrible chisels you are forced to use! :)
