interesting way of grooving the boards onto the corner posts. are they just glued in place?

the aw looks quite dark.

good job though.
 
its how the customer wanted no pins screws just glue, the aw oak we been getting hasnt been the best of late dont no why.
 
alot of the timber is....

sapele ive been using alot lately moves alot with machining, even the timber yard mentioned it...

Nice oak ,nice machines, ........pineapple! I've ripped out way better fire surrounds than that!



you may of done so good for you

i can only make it how the customer wanted it
 
What exactly do you dislike about it? Really? Its got quite simple lines to it, maybe it could do with a couple of touches hear and there but I quite like it.
 
I suppose it's not really about if I like it but does the client like it. I think it looks very well made and I appreciate the OP taking time to post it so I and other can 'look and learn', as a hobbyist seeing how the pro's do something is interesting.
