Default Few pics of some curved furniture I finished this week.

Evening all,
For a living I make had crafted curved furniture/kitchens.
Thought I'd put a few pics up from what I finished this week.
Many thanks Chris

The missus and I are sat in our kitchen at the moment having a brunch and she described your work as "beautiful". It is indeed.

Looks good, mate mine does similar had a contract to supply shop but he's also boat build er and evything else. He should stick to the furniture I reckon.

How are the door tops curved?


Be amazing if the round one was on a swivel


Very nice

Wardrobe design is my favourite. I'd also buy that triagular table, but I won't want that to be glazed. I'd rather bee-wax it, or have that look; one way or the other.

You had better hope she dosen't take a fancy to it or your going to be seriously ££££ out of pocket!

Mind you I would quite happily have any of the above in my kitchen.

Superb, I envy you your ability and talent.
They really are a work of art.

You'd be a good man to know if I lived in a windmill or a lighthouse.

Cheers lads for the kind words, means a lot.
I thought some of the stuff I make might be of Intetest.
To get you a rough idea in pricing,
A 580mmx580mm 1/4 circle curved kitchen end unit is about 30hrs work and cost about £1000 for a rough idea.
Ill out some more pics up. Cheers Chris
