   Mike, that chest is a thing of beauty. I have done very little carving but, enough to know the care involved in this. Quite striking. Congrats on a very appealing design and wonderful execution.

   Mr. Henderson, You should be proud of this piece. You've covered many aspects of fine wooding in your bureau and the carving alone is stunning. I'm very impressed that it's your design, well done.

   Mike,

   The carving is outstanding as usual, the grain matching of the Cherry is near perfect and the craftsmanship is impeccable. This piece will only become more beautiful with age, too, as the Cherry darkens. Wonderful work.

   Mike, that is just simply fantastic!

   It is so very cool to see this kind of quality work still being done, by hand, by skilled craftsmen like yourself.

   Bravo!

    Mike,
    Ellen and I are quite impressed. The comments of others are far more sophisticated respecting woodworking, and without them I am not sure I would have appreciated all that you have done! This is indeed a work of much skill and patience.
    John

    Mike, I was suprised to see your chest of drawers here, but actually not. I have been impressed from this piece ever since you made it and seeing it again is just inspiring me to keep going. I remember the carving class we had and you taught us all the simple shell. Your work is beautiful. And this time in pictures I saw the dovetails on the back of the feet, I am REALLY impressed. The only people that would ever see that are the movers, but you did it anyhow. Good luck and we'll see you around. Beautiful.
