I've been around some other forums a while, but they are getting kinda stale, so I thought I'd come on over and try PW out.

I enjoy building furniture but I've also ventured into Kumiko and chip carving.

My latest project is a jewelry armoire, which if you're not familiar is a free standing case with drawers you're wife is supposed to fill with jewelry 😁

It's been a challenge for me with new skills to learn such as Queen Anne legs and fluted columns. Plus more veneering than I've ever done.

I just finished the internal drawer divider assembly. Here is the current state of affairs and what it will look like when finished.IMG_7763.JPGIMG_7612.JPG

    I didn't actually start the build until July 26. I started practicing Queen Anne legs and columns back in August '25 and built a mockup in Sept '25 It originally had a bow front, but it was too complicated figuring out the rest of the design. Changed the apron, too.

    Between that I built a kumiko ceiling light:

    Welcome, Robert. Kumiko and chip carving? That's some serious skill. Jewelry armoire looks great so far... good luck with the rest
