The inlay from the Art Deco Cabinet ... Inlay by Trevor ... Ebony and MOP pulls by Will ... REALLY NICE SHINY LACQUER FINISH by Steve Holman of Holman Studios, just a mile down the road ... This piece is/was extremely hard to photograph .... Click the photos to enlarge them ...
The Art Deco Cabinet ... Macassar ebony, Gaboon ebony, mahogany secondary and mother-of-pearl ... Got it back from Steve on Tuesday and reassembled it ... All done ... and I'm glad. that one was A LOT harder then it looks ...
Tomorrow Will and I are off to Martha's Vineyard to install the pool table and the light Sam made below. If the pool table clients are close enough, we make the effort to set them up ourselves. They are always in nice places like, for instance, Martha's Vineyard. The last one was in Greenwich, CT ... Anyway, I've never been to the Vineyard in the winter but the client has a guest house for us and it should be as they say 'nice in the off season' ... No problem getting on the ferry I bet ....
The pool table ... Handhewn beams and recyled ?hemlock? rails and blinds ... Virgin timber whatever it was, with beautiful unbelievably fine grain .. I hope to update the Build Your Own Pool Table post I started in December at some point, but it won't be for a minute .... Surprisingly, there are quite a few new inquiries coming in since the holidays ....
Sam's latest from the metal shop ... nice green glass shades
