Even though you used a router, it still appears to be a chisel because of the high and lower waves of rough marks. I think there is another TCer who found a way to mass produce this kind of work but lost the hands on approach your still has. Its as great as your frames.

Your room is amazing!!!
I have to ask, where did you get that nice sectional? I've been looking for something exactly like that.
Kudos - I can't wait to see more pics!

Wow, MM looking good. Considering the amount of space you've got I can see this thread being a very long one. Can't wait for each and every update.

Beautiful work Derek! I love how it is all coming together.
Some great detail work on the beams, and the color is a really great addition to it all! Great design elements!
I've found that sometimes working the router is more difficult than hand carving. A steady hand and slow cuts come from intense concentration.
But you can't beat it for getting large pieces complete in a reasonable amount of time.
Thanks for the progress shots... and congrats!

Monkeyman, your use of color on that central beam is something I've never seen before.
It is absolutely perfect.
