I recently finished a side table and I filmed the build process if you're

This was my first time using lacewood and I was happy with how easily it
worked for such a highly figured wood.

Criticism ok.

Wasted enough time on this so here's my final comment. You expect some
fool to give you $1,200. for that "table?" You'd be lucky to get $120.
What color is the sky on your planet??

Now play nice.

Yeah, asking for criticism (quote: Criticism ok) then throwing a temper
tantrum when criticism is received (albeit snarky and uncalled-for criticism)
doesn't leave an observer with a good impression of Brian.

Definitely a shaker-style, minimilistic piece. I do mostly shaker-style
stuff myself, and there's nothing wrong with that style of woodworking.

As for criticism, the proportions of Brian's side table didn't look natural
to me, but the lacewood and cherry looked nice and the workmanship was
certainly workmanlike. Bookmatching the top would have added to the
effect of the piece, I think, perhaps by resawing the solid lacewood into
veneers.

But if Brian and his cohort like it, that's really all that matters.

I can assure you that there are a lot of people that will
pay a very large sum of money for a piece, especially if it fits a specific
need. Been there done that..

Indeed.
