A greta result. You can't beat a happy customer

Nice job

Cheers

Love it Carl, you have done an almighty job in the design and construction. Some have it, some don’t, you have it

Hate to say it, but I have one minor gripe The main bottom rail extending to what looks like 300-450mm past the end of the top. Recipe for fractured skulls in the middle of the night. It’s something you may need to think about and talk to your client.

Thanks for the feedback folks. The finish is quite simple - Tung Oil. A few coats with the last one wet sanded in.

Glad someone picked that up. It was a concern of mine too as the piece came together. One option was to cut that leg short. We spoke to the client and he actually quite liked it extended like that.

He's placing a chair at that end to help "prevent" any accidental trips. Whilst not perfect he's aware of the risk.

Cheers,
Af.

That’s good news on your behalf as the maker. As long as you have a verbal, and if its an issue and he is okay with it, all that aside you will be ok. You have done an exceptional job in both design and execution, well done AF

I didn't see that bottom rail as so much of a trip hazard, but I reckon it's going to look pretty scuffed very quickly. Whoever sits down that end of the table will have their shoes all over that rail. Would it be an idea to treat it a bit differently?

It's great to see furniture designed and made to suit a particular space.

Scuffed or highly polished? They wear socks in the house and that particular spot is the last one to be used around the table anyway.

Ah, it's a sock house. That's different. I'm always impressed with the discipline of people who make that rule and stick to it.

Great stuff there AF, top job mate

Nice

Nice
