: Steve, that's one of the prettiest designs I have ever seen. The execution is
: beautiful too; walnut, curly and bird's eye maple are some of my favorite

: elegant!

: Cheers!

Thanks Kurt!

I've gotten many hours of enjoyment and inspiriation following your Mill Creek Build up. The deck design was a loooooong decision process for me. I sketched out over 150 ideas (many variations on some themes) before I picked this one. The King has such pretty lines that I didn't want to distract from Joe's design. Once I had chosen the concept I then programmed the lines and arcs into Excel and played with them for several hours until I was happy with the proportions. One night I got up at 2:30 just to play around with a variation!

Thanks for the compliments!

Steve
