rdb Report post Posted March 22, 2010 A Furniture Maker asked me to make some panels for a desk he was making. I had no idea what it would look like in the end, but followed his requests. His pictures are too small for detail, but the overall look came out good, I thought. He did a great job on the carpentry.

Luke Hatley Report post Posted March 22, 2010 that is some fine work......Yours ......and.......His. Now, when you glued the leather to the wood.Was it just Contack Cement to both surfaes ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Thanx Luke! This was mostly him, but I enjoyed the break from constructing things, and just doing a little carving. 3M spray was what he said he used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm Report post Posted March 22, 2010 The wood work is beautiful but your leather carving was the icing on the cake. The carving looks really elegant!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdb Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Thanx, Storm and bentley. I still think simple is the best, that's why just a very little carving on the panels, and no border. The Builder did do something I didn't expect, though, he reversed the left and right panels. It brought all three carvings closer. When I made them, in my head, I had them on the outside corners. I kind of like it the way he did it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hidepounder Report post Posted March 22, 2010 I like the desk and the panels! But I have to tell you....I like your idea of having the tooling in the outside corners, the way you envisioned it, better. Doesn't matter though....it really looks nice and the panels really compliment the desk!!!! Great job!!! Bobby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted March 22, 2010 That is a very good looking desk/top!!! Not overthe edge with the tooling just some nice elegant additions that accents the beautiful desk. Getting off the construction bit once in a while is a great relief. Good job!!! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Thanx Bobby, glad you agree, just so I don't think I'm going crazy...lol Yep Tom, I don't get to play artist often enough, I need a truckload of cowboys to move near me so my carving comes up to snuff...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abn Report post Posted March 23, 2010 Beautiful. I especially like how the leather color you chose complements the light wood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
