The actual size is 4-1/2" length x 2-1/4" height x 1-3/4" deep.
Once again, the whole thing...
Pretty cool!

Re: Hawaii Woodwork
Nice work on the dresser Woodman! I like to make sawdust too... it's one of my releases from the real world. I make smaller stuff like boxes and ukes tho. I have a plan from one of the woodworking mags for a small Shaker-style side table that I want to make out of koa or mango. Is furniture making your business or do you do it as a hobby?

The first shot is a sketch I showed my client, but they (he & his wife) changed the design of the base.
There is no way that you can appreciate this piece from any single angle. The front shot is nice, but if you see the sides, back, and top, you might get a better idea of just how cool this thing actually looks, IRL.

How much would one of these Mango Wood Sofa Tables cost? Just curious.
I'm guessing $500? If not around that,
Retail is $1,900, but that's after it goes to gallery, and yes, they do receive a commission.

No, but for 100 board feet of clean S4S 4/4 curly mango lumber, you've got yourself a deal. Will also trade 40 b/f of rough sawn, 8/4 premium curly koa.

The metal bit on top is part of the model.
The koa I have is quite dry. It chips whilst routing the bevels.
Just remember, woodwork is not an addiction. It's a disease.
