time to enjoy.

Last week I received a magic envelope. This envelope contained the files from my 2nd piece at the Inside Passage School of Fine Woodworking. After some months of work, we had our year end show, followed by a Professional Photo Shooting. Ingeborg Suzzane was in charge of taking this sharp and balanced photographs. www.isphoptography.com




She has been working with the school for some years now, she can see what we want you to see, because a piece of furniture has to be appreciated in different angles and it takes time to explore all this details that make each piece unique. 

I must say I was impressed to see this photographs. After so much work, you believe you know every angle of your piece. I feel fortunate to see it through another eyes and talent. 


Take your time to enjoy the work, go through it, all of this is the result of an effort to take care on each and every one of the details. 


This piece was made for my wife Monica, she's a jewelry maker, and we wanted to show her talent too, so we thought of this, a jewelry display cabinet. You will see through the photographs that the drawers, are interchangeable trays that can be removed and placed on top. This will show the interested any piece they're interested on, at a comfortable position. 


This piece will be attached to a stand, proyect I will be doing on this following months. I've had time to think about it, and it will match the cabinet really nice. The design will keep the same rythm shown. 


Looking at my work made me feel inspired to take the next step on this life experience. I am sure of what my hands are capable of, and know even more that the learning experience will never end. 


Cheers everybody!
