Best woodworking project of yours

Post by WayneDean »

Hello folks!

Have you done lots of projects so far? How many of them are for commercial use? Would you mind showing your best work of woodworking to inspire others?

Dang Wayne that's like asking which of your children is your favorite. Not an easy answer. I will however admit some of my children (projects) are more troubled than others. Let me see if I can round up a pic or two of my hardest project. Hold tight.

Well Wayne I'd say this is my biggest and toughest project I have ever done. I am making my wife an entire bedroom set and this is the dresser. It's made out of Walnut

Both nice projects.

The bed really caches my eye as I have often thought of building one but never attempted it.

Nice to see projects, finished or in progress but I notice we don't see as many photos of projects as we used to.

Have fun and keep on creating great things.
