My first commission piece is done!

[adowden]

I am so happy that I have FINALLY finished my first commission piece. It took much longer than I thought - 5 months part time (150 hours). It was quite a learning experience (Isn't this what you say when you way under quote the bid?:lol: ) It was alot of firsts for me - first inset doors, muntins and mullions, and drawer slides. The customer is going to apply the finish to save money.

Amy that is a beautiful piece. Give us the details. What kind of wood did you use? Looks like there might be some red oak in there.

Amy, that's really sharp - Good Job!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Amy that really turned out nice, I like the A&C influence. Was it your design or a request of the client? I would love more details of the construction, and the lessons that you learned (so, I can learn them without having to make the same mistakes :-D:-D:-D:-D)

Nice work! I am also interested in how you assembled this piece. Did you have any problems along the way? How is the client going to finish it?

 

[DavidF]

Nice going Amy, you kept that quiet! I know what it's like to try and find 150 hrs in weekends, that's for sure, 6 Months is an average for my projects too.

It takes a lot of skill as well as time to creat something that nice.

Looks great! What is the wide open shelf for? Did the customer provide ideas/specs?
