Hello All,
I just wanted to offer my website address and services to anyone that wants custom made furniture, made as ordered .
Thanks, Duane K. Navarre snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com

Yup. Pinpoint marketing. Selling custom-made furniture to people who custom-make furniture as a hobby or business.
Is that like the fish merchant who sells to luckless fishermen?

Thanks, but that is what a lot of us do. May I make a suggestion? Move your web page to a real host for business. Nothing is more irritating that pop ups from Geocities from a commercial enterprise web page. Very amateurish. Ed.
I want 6 dining room chairs, 5 tables, three benches for outside with matching picnic tables but you have to buy all the teak from me :-)

I'd like to offer a comment, if I may. While your stuff may be well built and nicely finished, it looks homemade and it's butt ugly. Seriously. Really, you need to work on your design skills.
I went down to Costa Rica, picked the trees, watched them being cut and sawn, loaded them on a container (brutal work) and shipped them up to Houston.
I am in Texas, but we are not in the wood business any more and I have
2,000 BF stickered that I need to get rid of, and will do it in 50-100 BF lots if necessary, mostly ground shipping UPS.The wood is from 30 year old trees and varies wildly in colour, with white wood inclusions.

I agree that everyone's tastes are different, but many people don't have any taste. That's one reason why (butt ugly) black velvet Elvis paintings sell so well.
I work as a photographer and a design consultant. When I say something is butt ugly, it's not just a uninformed personal bias but my informed professional opinion.
Seriously though, it doesn't take long to realize there's a lot of knowledge and craftsmanship on this group. A lot of know how and expertise in how to put projects together. Much discussion on what type of tools to use and assembly techniques. Very little talk, however, of aesthetics and other design considerations, and yet these considerations are of far greater significance in the end product than the brand of glue, type of clamp, or make of sawblade.
Hey Duane, If you need some one to build that custom made furniture for you, let me know.
Since you seem to appreciate candor, I'll be as candid as you were. I have to question your artistic eye if you refer to this fellow's work as butt ugly. It's not the type of furnature I'd build to put in my home, but there is certainly nothing butt ugly about it at all. Your profession has nothing at all to do with being an informed professional opinion. An informed professional opinion would consider tastes outside of your own. Yours has every appearance of being a snobish, rather myopic opinion.
I don't think any discusssion on asthetics would be terribly fruitful - believe it or not there are people who think they understand what everyone else should appreciate better then the eye of the beholder.
I understand and agree with what your saying in principle. However, for many of us the glue,clamps,sawblades,and the work involved are priceless when compared to the end product. One exception to this is if end product is a gift or a customers piece, then making THEM happy is number one. Speaking of aesthetics, which finish gives walnut its best appearance? Oil finish, shellac, varnish, poly, or latex paint? Is it ok to stain walnut?
