Funny, how my eyes were drawn to that logo…..I recognized it right away, as Angie’s. My two favorite artisans, I’m a fan of you both. I think it’s because you pay a great amount of attention to details, which absolutely elevates the end product! I really enjoy the posts on both of these channels, and for some reason it made me smile to see that Angie watches your posts too. 👍

I'm so glad that you left the main part of the table light and naturally wood colored. It always saddens me when beautiful wood is covered up by paint or dark stain. To me, nothing looks better than the natural colors and patterns of wood as it is.

My cats use them when grabbing me during play and it's always on the opposite side of the other toes/fingers. Biologically they may not be considered opposing thumbs but that's how all the cats I've ever owned used them. But that's okay. I know technically they're not considered thumbs.

Absolutely saved this beautiful piece! So appreciate your meticulous patience… we could all use that in our every day life…..still working on that in my early 60’s! Especially now as I need to remove an oil based top coat on chairs I did over 30 yrs ago…boy it sure was some sturdy stuff and I have a tough time of getting it off around the spindled back! But we still like them..and we had to tear down the old part of our house which was a one room school house built in 1886. Still out in the country! So going to paint spindles and legs and a dark stain on the seats! Definitely is time consuming so I only work on it until I run out of patience then I go do something else. So I am always admiring people who can be so very patient!
