I also build furniture, the pieces I restore for others I get payed for, but I build new pieces for us here at the house.
The bar is a resto mod of a curly cherry 1800s overmantle. the rest are as the wood spoke to me.

Wow now thats good lookin stuff. I love inlaid wood. The different colors and wood mosiacs are cool.
I went to visit the Strasburg railway myseum in pennsylvania back when i was a teenager. They had a special passenger coach that a railroad owner would use. Sometimes these would be coupled to the rear of a train. Very opulent private coach, with inlaid wood trim, and wood carvings, silk curtains. This was the railroad owners private car. Like rich people today would use a private jet. It even had a brass gage panel inset into one wall with a clock, barometer, thermometer, and a speedometer. This thing had a bedroom, full bath, and its own private kitchen and servants quarters. It also had an open balcony on the back of it.
The thing that struck me as cool was all the inlaid woid, and the attention to detail.
