When you said you did the mantle above (tv one), does that mean you literally crafted the intricate supports/legs from scratch? What does that even entail? I sadly am worried skills like this will be lost with my younger generation, skills done with one's hands are falling to the wayside. This thread is incredible, thank you for sharing. Also, this:

Thanks for the kind words gents! It's a rare opportunity that I get to put that much work into 1 single residence. This was a reproduction of a Federal Era Estate that we did with an architect from Washington DC. It's definitely over the top, but a great portfolio builder for my company :clap:

Wow rockbridge you have some serious talent. I can't even begin to pick my favorite, everything looks amazing! :clap:

Edit- Might have to go with the staircase. I also really like the archway in the kids room(if it is a kids room they are pretty damn lucky!)
