The best is what I aim for.

[Walnut Beast]

When your the best your spot on! And that you are! Fine fine beautiful legacy show pieces!!!!

[tule peak timber]

Aiming is one thing.... achieving might be another. I must be doing something right because they keep coming back.
I seem to be in the position (some by choice, some by chance) of doing little gingerbread jobs for architects, builders and designers. The biggest thing with keeping these guys coming back is being on time and in budget. Reliability on a large job, (or any job), such as the NNRH project, is huge when you have so many cooks in the kitchen and budgets are half a billion dollars. Besides chopping wood, you need to keep a lot of people calm and have answers for them. Anyway, we keep trying.

Customer supplied pic of a dinner table and light bar we built for his home. Starting the wraparound bar top next week.

Pheeew, thats obscenely beautiful TPT.
Not sure that it matches the rest of the house, but that's just me.
If I found myself having supper with sixteen people, I'd probably forget the food because I was drooling over the grain and finish on the table.
Good work buddy!

I take it that hanging beam light had a little magic done on it - not solid?  Amazing stuff.

[tule peak timber]

No , the customer did not want to pay for the hollow version, so it is solid. Extremely heavy! The customer is always right ............ :D 

[Resonator]

Nice!
Did something like that light beam (though not nearly as big) in my best customers new house when they built it. Guess who was the youngest - most agile guy on site to crawl up through the trusses over the kitchen (after the sheetrock and insulation were in) and put in blocking to hang it by? ??? :D 

[Andries]

Hey Resonator, you're still the youngest and most agile guy on the crew this month, right?
Well, ok, maybe just around these parts of the Forum? 😁

[Resonator]

Youngest on here at least at this moment, though there's at least a few younger than me members in the forum. ;)

Amazing looking table.  Resonator is a whippersnapper amongst the venerable fellows of the Forestry Forum.

There's a joe cutting firewood on the logging page that's 35, compared to him I'm an old guy. ;D

I just received this E-mail a few minutes ago from a customer who took delivery today of her new island top. Holy crap Batman!! What an ego builder eh? Here is a copy of her email. 


 

[Old Greenhorn]

That's what it's all about, isn't it? Nicely done. 8)

[thecfarm]

You made her happy!!! 

[caveman]

That's worth more than money.
