Nice. Very nice.
Let me guess... the first one is a fancy egg holder. The second one -- i'm not quite sure -- it look s a little like a place to rest your bottom while throwing back a beer. The last one... hmmm.... well, I'll have to plead the Fifth on the last one.online at http://www.theFrankes.com

The woodworker who did these is one of my younger brothers. He is starting semester #3 of a 4 semester woodworking school. He wants to start his own business when he is done.
He already knew some woodworking when he went, at least how to use the tools but the design flair - proportion, lines, etc has always been there. That is all the stuff I can't do.
In high school he decided to try basket weaving in an art class. He wove a horse head that ended up on display in DC for a national student art exhibit. I was at my dad's house the day he decided he wanted to do a chainsaw carving. He got my dad's saw and a log. A couple hrs later using the saw and a regular wood chisel he carved a rabbit munching on some lettuce.David

Like Rod said, it is in the same category as the stuff Dave did. Beautiful work but, except for the first piece, a bit too modern for my tastes. Just wish I had that kind of talent!Don, aka Pappy,

There is a LOT of talent in your family, David. Not sure I would call his efforts woodwork; art work would be more accurate. Not matter what you call it, it's beautiful.Larry R. Rogers

Very artistic. Very good use of contrast. Not too functional, to be sure, but I doubt that was the intent. Your brother definitely is "out there"...Comment

I can better enjoy a bowl of cereal on a plastic tray, and not worry about any spillage damaging the tray. And I certainly can't see using those foot rails on the stool without scraping them up. I think to view these as more than inspired artwork would lead to no good.Comment
