Thanks Scott and F&E.

I think!

I am impressed your description of my log/footrest, F&E.

"Now it is a well crafted object with a practical use where the decorative work of the craftsman is visible, while maintaining the rustic appeal of the natural form"

The advice provided above helped me make a rough log fit in with my friends "fine custom made" loungeroom furniture and pieces, and still look like a log. The loungeroom has pieces by Dave Jones and Eugene Zacharewicz and her own impressive quilts.

She just rang to say she liked the photos of her footrest and is coming to collect it.

I'm relieved.

Is it art? I am not even sure if you would call it carving but I am happy with the result.

Wait a minute Scally. Is there a Maloof type rocking chair in your house?

Very observant Scott.
It is amazing how small things can mean a lot to some people.

Unfortunately it is not a Maloof rocker but my poor interpretation of the master's work.

The Jarrah looks OK with the rosewood.
Maybe I could find a Coachwood log to better match my friends Jackson rocker?
