    Default 21 years old Huon dining setting.

    Made this setting 21 years ago.
    Even had a picture of it printed in the "Australian Woodwork" magazine in their gallery page at the time which I was chuffed about.
    Table is refectory type and easily dismantle able.
    Table top is one board.
    Note the scaled up finger on chair leg, got a chuckle out of doing that.
    Other legs had a sort of "musical instrumenty" inspired design as its always irked me that I am a musical illiterate, dunce, no hoper.
    Made 1 other complete setting soon after, with a kind of insecty inspired theme.
    They are lots of work and hard to sell.
    Tend to just make individual chairs these days when there is a definite order and deposit.
    Anyway, if someone enjoys the picture....."good o". Click on it to enlarge.

    A very interesting piece and it takes some skills to make a piece like this. Well done sir.

    lots of work, skill and time spent. Its a shame its hard to sell, because it all should be rewarded more. I have similar issues sometimes with some of my pieces.

    That leg shaped like a finger is a lot of fun.

    thanks for showing.

    Thank you for posting this photo. I would have missed the issue 21 years ago.
