Wow! That is amazing. You’re a truly talented wood worker. Like the fine lines of the wood.

It looks great and you were in the middle of cleaning the shop. Wow! I could only imagine if you dedicated more time.
Nice work again.

Subtle texture in this one. I almost didn’t notice it. Very soothing to look at. How did you achieve the texture, was it natural or did you blast it with media?

That sinker cypress has some great color and grain (looks like Zebrano). I can’t disagree with the no finish approach if you are going for the driftwood look.

Greg, this has such beautiful grain that I would have rounded the corners more to emphasis that effect. This design has a nice flowing look. Your “simple” is decidedly “unsimple” when you examine the techniques use. Nice work. Keep boxing and keep posting.
