Well, I was actually the first one who jumped in with a "Flame" for Tommy boy, who had actually encouraged me to do so with his comment about expecting flames for his post. Maybe I encouraged Garage boy by coming down on his side, which isn't always the case, I have trashed his stuff before as well.







Tommy has the right to his opinion, and criticism was requested but I felt it was over the top in terms of harshness (is that a word?)and more denigrating than necessary so I jumped in to provide some defense, assuming Garage boy would likely not.







I never did see Tommy's work (can't see fricking ABPW via my Google reader) and I loved Sam Maloof, he was a sweet and talented man and I learned a few things from him over the years but I have no love for that swoopy design type stuff so likely would be unimpressed.











I don't look at workmanship based on my taste, I look at it purely as



what went into it.



Donkey sh*t. You judge "what went into it" based on your taste.





Tommy Boy produced some nice work.



I am confident that he presented what was his hand picked favorites. I found them to be weak and uninspiring. His best of the bunch was the Maloof knock-off chair but this didn't demonstrate the very trait that he crapped on me for. Being "unimaginative".





I was not impressed by Brian's work, there were a few things that I



found out of place, the lacewood was beautiful, but not well done, since



the glue up put a piece that distracted..





Now were getting somewhere. Actual useful criticism.



Could you point out the board you find distracting? Below is a picture of the top:

To easily understand, you would need to repost the original picture, the

one that this link has replaced.

Like I told you when you originally asked - it was an artifact of the photography.

Nothing wrong with the top. It is very pleasing to look at.

But it shows up better in the first

video opening shot below.



The right middle top board here.

It's all in how the light hits the wood. It is a very pleasing top to look at.

I am sure it looks great but that first picture was not as flattering as
the current.
