I agree! I missed that shifting through the pages. Would certainly buy one if these went on sale lol

Excuse the awful picture quality, but these managed to get made last night.  They're not finished yet, so the metal still has plastic on it.  I'm thinking I'll throw some veneer on the inside surface later this week.

Oh very nice!  I had a largish sheet of copper, and was considering something similar - but I don't think mine would have been as elegant.

Awesome! How did you bend the metal like that?

Something I finished this week. = )

That looks great! I love the tone of the wood contrasted with the kimono silk, and the diagonal placement on the base is very nice. 

 

[TheOtus]

Thanks! = ) I kind of figured that the base would also be more stable that way, even while it's very sturdy either way.

 

[kingoftown1]

The choice of fabric is just great

x 2!!!!! wow

 

[kingoftown1]

literally just stained the veneer applied earlier today, so it's still drying but I think it's looking pretty good.  Here's a low-light cellphone picture!
 

 

[nick n]

How'd you get the veneer inside there without compromising the bend?
Oh and what type of veneer is it?

 

[kingoftown1]

It's cherry veneer just stained with a coat of pecan polyshades (which is usually terrible to use, but worked well in this instance) and carefully attached with contact cement.

Where do you buy that? I once asked for it at Home Depot and people didn't know what i was talking about....
