That is probably one of the most outstanding pieces of furniture I have seen posted on this site. You've done the Far South Coast proud, Jacko.

Absolutely Awesome!!
Great work of art Jacko. I find myself wondering whether I will ever even get close your craftmanship. As an earlier post said - Leaves one feeling inadequate.
Well done.
Mick.

Questions
Jacko
Did you add up or can you estimate the time it took to construct including any jigs etc you had to make?
Can you put a dollar value on it ?
Do you work wood professionally or as a hobbiest?

For Different
Here are some answers, best estimates only as not recorded. My wife would possibly increase these times by 50%

I'm more a classical furniture type (real big into chippendale as can be seen on my website) but that has to be one of the finest modern designs I've seen. Your sense of proportion is right on. Damn! fine work. Do you mind if I grab a couple of the pics for me furniture reference library.

For a seven-year old thread, this is good.
Steam bending is not magic. It is a simple, boat-building technique
which has been used for centuries.
Jacko has got it figured out very well. Best that I've seen yet, outside of a boat yard.
Now, for your investigations, see how well you do with a kerf-bent box
in the style of the Pacific Northwest Coast native nations.
I have seen 60cm corners.
