Looks cracking to me & love your website, some great bits of furniture on there & site is very clean/crisp/well presented. Very impressive.

Ultimately, you do what the client wants. If Bob's client is happy, and I am sure she is delighted, then the project is a success.

To criticise unfavourably the end result is a reflection on the client's taste, rather than the maker's.

The client is always right, whether you as the maker like it or not. All that the maker can reasonably do is to offer suggestions as to how the project might be improved, but at the end of the jour, the client makes the final 'go' decision and that's what the maker has to work with.

Can we get away from being reasonable and revert to just being offensive? It's much more fun for everyone else...

Hi Doc, and anyone else who gets in first.

Uh, what's "Pippy Oak"? Is it a variety of Oak, or treated in some way? Not heard of it before, just wondering.

Hedgerow oak, used to be fence post material. Loads of little knots from skinny branches. Now an expensive sign of 'character'. /gross simplification

ccasion5: Jake! I know exactly what you're talking about - must look similar to Hawthorn in hedges?

 

[Jake]

Yes, but bigger still. I think the real difference for the 'hedgerow' analogy (I doubt it is more than that) is that in a forest, the trunks are clearer because of lack of light under the crowns.

Yes - Le Salvager had an episode where he was looking for a clear length of tree for a book case. - new growth trees in a forest race for the sky (few branches), old growth stuff grew with little competition - hence lots of branches. End of Sermon. :lol:
