Andrei Zborovski, owner of Avrora Inc. is a furniture maker and his workshop is just down the street from mine. We have different talents and resources and so occasionally we will work together on a job.
A client approached Andrei with an idea for a retirement gift for a member of the United States Marine Corp. Andrei saw the potential for some CNC work and invited me to collaborate with him and his client on designing and building the gift.
Andrei’s client sourced the artillery shell, the brass plaque and the unit logo’s. I did all the CNC work cutting out the various parts and carving and routing the table top. Andrei prepared the blanks, assembled all the parts and then stained and glazed the piece and truly brought it to life with the finish.
We actually finished the project earlier this month but have held off on posting it as the retirement ceremony was this past Friday. By all accounts, the ceremony was a success and the retirement gift was well received.
From our client: “The retirement ceremony was wonderful, and the table stole the show at the end of the evening!”
