Dam fine work sir, I'm finding with my clients that they are asking for more of this traditional work. This might be in part to my rural location, older properties, and their average age 50/60. Either way I like making it, and its starting to creep back into my taste also.

Thanks, guys.
Mark, I checked out your web page, and see what you mean, given this cabinet:
Very nice, and dead on with some of the examples I've seen. I also saw the curved hot tub stairs you did--my wife and I will be ripping down our old deck this spring, and I may use your stairs for inspiration.

The Penultimate Pics:
I have a friend who's a pro photographer, and he came to one of our medieval events and shot pictures as a fundraiser. He then took pictures of one of the thrones. This is pretty much the last I'll see of them, since they're being delivered tomorrow. They still will get some silver repousse done in the triangles, but that will be done by someone else and in the coming months. Anyway, here you go:
Top of the back panel, with triangular panel:
Middle of back:
One panel:
Well, the carving ain't perfect, but I think the flaws give it some good character. (On the other hand, I'm biased.
)
The frame lines are done with a scratch stock, and the corners finished with a chisel. Took maybe an hour or hour and a half for a total of 12 panels. Router? Bah, humbug!
Side panels:
And even closer:
Handrest:
I'm still not real happy with the handrest carving. But frankly, these pictures make it look alright.
Finial:
Again, things look a trifle "rustic". And I've only seen a few medieval pieces in person, but I think this looks appropriate in comparison.
Kickplate:
Don't like it? Off with your head!
