The Pallet Scam?

George does very good work.

There are carpenters, finish carpenters, cabinet men and furniture builders. George is a furniture builder.

Thanks for the compliment.

Among my many flaws is a total lack of imagination, sense of scale and proportion.

There are a couple of pieces that I've built with which I've been very dissatisfied. They just don't look "right."

But, show me some plans and I can do it. Sometimes, show me a picture, and I can plan it out - like the desk at which I'm sitting now. It's a beast. All walnut, except for the drawer sides, which are maple - dovetailed, of course.

These two tables, however, were successes in opinion. The kitchen table was built for durability. We had hundreds of meals at it, the kids painted, colored and, yes, sat on it. It served us very well.

The dining room table was okay. In retrospect, I could have done some things a bit better, but for the 15 years we had it, it also served its purpose.

Like I said, the total cost for both of these was about $1000.

I did good.

I actually like the style of the kitchen table more vs. the dining table. But both are very nice.

Yeah, but look at the work on the dining table.
