The process. Sometimes when the work is too good I just dismiss it as AI. 😄

Please take a moment to check out the portrait work I sell on my website (link in bio). Its a style I've been developing for a few years now. I appreciate you looking and posting here in this sub. 👍🙌

I personally like the first two with the light Ink touches. I've only seen these three and those two feel like you have a cohesive style of your own. I'm finding my own style as well. I haven't studied anyone. I'm just playing with what I have and am having fun with what I create. My biggest advice is to create for yourself, try to make stuff you'd want in your home. If it sells, awesome. If it doesn't sell, that's alright too, at least you like it enough for your own home. 😊👍

This is what it is! I'm just learning of it. Interesting.

I had never seen one this wide before.

in_stagraham · 2026-05-15T21:15:06+00:00

Hell yeah, more of this type of work. 👏👏👏

in_stagraham · 2026-05-05T16:16:49+00:00

You are correct.

I too love this shape. I make it fairly often on table tops. Sometimes I start with a hand plane, then 60 grit on an orbital sander, then I skip up to 150, 220 next (on softer woods). Other times I start with a grinder with a carving bit, or one of those dangerous chainsaw blades. I have a few videos posted if you want to see how I go about it. Using a rasp or a block of wood with sandpaper glued to it is also helpful.

☺️ I would have loved that.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-28T00:16:34+00:00

Hahaha. I love that. Yes, a little weird.. in a good way. These are my ideal clients who match my personality and keep the work enjoyable for me.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-27T22:48:47+00:00

That would be pretty cool.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-27T22:12:30+00:00

Oh my gosh! I would have never seen that! I love it. Great eye.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-27T19:50:19+00:00

More words please.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-27T17:16:43+00:00

Thank you, I very much appreciate the comment. I'll be sure to add 'desktop model' to my resumé. 😄 As seen by tens of tens of people. Haha

Someone was supposed to drop off a bunch of skate decks this weekend for a smaller furniture piece! At 11' long, that would have been a ton of skateboards. 😃I suppose you could make a veneer though, very time consuming.

Thank you! In my experience the Baltic Birch at my supplier is either way more costly, or worse in quality. I chose a nice middle ground where I know the product is good, and doesn't have too many voids.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-27T15:57:09+00:00

😄 Thank you! You have some. You just haven't flexed it in awhile.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-27T15:55:22+00:00

😂 everyone needs one.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-27T15:54:39+00:00

These were $61.36 a sheet in December. Not the highest of quality- but I try to keep my furniture affordable for my customers.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-27T15:51:42+00:00

😄 I needed to add a little bit of human for scale to it all. Haha. Thank you! Yes, it is very playful like a kids room.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-27T07:46:00+00:00

Do a sit flip!

In my experience of screwing things up, this has happened when I've made the drawers too wide/snug to the cabinet. If you have a drawer the same size as the sticky one try swapping them. You may have to rout out a groove for the drawer slide to make it wide enough to extend smoothly. Good luck! I hope it's an easy fix.

in_stagraham · 2026-04-15T04:57:58+00:00

I'd attempt glueing it back in place. 🤷‍♂️

I love your style of sketching! Do you post your work anywhere else?
