A project that our company recently completed. The majority of this project was engineered and built by a 23 year old. He started in woodworking for our company one year before we began the project. The entire project took approximately 3 years to complete.

Beautiful design, beautiful work. Compound curves or shapes add so much, what a wonderful example.
Thats one heck of a pile ov veneer! and fantastic looking work.
3years? Pay him whats he's worth or he'll be your competition soon.
I have checked this gallery for years, this is one of the best projects i have seen.
Beautiful, sleek, clean. Wonderful work!
I especially like the cocktail table. Is it all solid wood? How was the top effect created?
The cocktail table was made from solid maple. The top piece was glued up in strips much like a butcher block top is. Then sent through a widebelt to get everything nice and flat. A program was then created that basically went in and routed a 2 - 6mm long line at every one of the valleys you see. Naturally this created a top that had a lot of uneven pointy sections. So the whole top was then sent through the wide belt again. This is where the effect you see came to life. The build ups for the table were all drawn up in Cad and then machined out of 8/4 solid maple. This saved us a lot of time having to get perfect butt joints. Since the CAD and CNC did all the work. After that it was simple handwork with an electric planer. The CAD work took about 2 weeks and the time to machine and build was about the same. All that with only one guy working on it. Pretty impressive!
Thank you all for you very kind comments.
awesome work. I hope you make more per hour than the guy who bought it.
The whole project looks pretty fancy until you see the old 90's style phone. You'd think they could afford a cordless by now.
Really nice design wonderfully executed. You are smart to give this kind of project to a young employee this undoubtedly will give him the satisfaction necessary to stay with his choosen craft. If I ever was tempted to resume finishing work again it would certainly be to have the privelage to work with such obvious talent. Really good job guys
