Here’s a beautiful trestle table coming together in Andy Rawls’ studio; spotted on his Tumblr this morning.
Seeing this makes me realize I can’t wait to get some projects done over the three day weekend. It makes me a little sad to say something like that. Choosing a job for pay instead of a love for what you do every day. Of course, the grass always looks greener…
This will be one solid table and will last for ages if treated well. This kind of craftsmanship has slipped away from most of our daily lives. You won’t find this at a big chain furniture store. Have a look at more of his remarkable work by clicking the link below.
