Not awful. Very surprised. |
So now I’m getting back on track. There’s going to be a barrage of posts in the next week to catch up on all the projects I’ve done since last summer. And I promise not to take a big break like that again.

So I had this commissioned table, and the clients wanted the top to have boards running width-wise instead of the usual length-wise. Cool choice, but causes problems with wood movement. As temperature and humidity change, wood expands and contracts across its width. I had to take this into account and build in some pretty clever (if I do say so) hidden gaps to allow for movement.

Delivered! |
On to the next one.
