	title of this thread your message This is Duncan Gowdy. Thank you for your comments about the pair of wall cabinets. The doors are hand carved. The door is about 7/8" thick solid ash. There is a detail photograph of the carving on the door on the Pritam and Eames website. The tool marks and subtle shaping are visible. I can understand your comments of the use of a CNC to obtain the image. If I were to make a production of the cabinets, I might consider using the technology. However, I make one-of-a kind pieces. I enjoy using the gouges, hand tools, and basic traditional woodworking machinery I have been carving my furniture since 1991, when I took my first woodworking class. I inherited my grandfathers set of gouges at that time, and have been using them since. The vertical format of the cabinets was new for me. The composition fit the image that I wanted to have on the doors. The image is of a brook in the winter; the white is the snow, grey is the ice, and black is the visible water. I was standing on a bridge when I took some photographs, so one cabinet is upstream, the other is downstream. I started making the work for my show at Pritam and Eames last October. Mid-way though production I read a few Krenov books. So yes, I was able to learn from the readings. There is amazing work at Pritam and Eames. Most of the furniture makers represented were students of Jere Osgood, Alphonse Mattia, and James Krenov. I was a student of Alphonse Mattia, and then Wendy Maruyama, who was a student of Alphonse and Jere. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
