I never say this but that couch looks T H I C C and comfy, like it embraces you. I can't figure out the scale precisely but can you lie down with your head on one arm and your legs over the other?

>>19826962
I hope they added a secret mechanism for a hidden room anon

how else will lyou kidnap your victims?

>>19827142
American blonde oak with a stain.
English oak is nearly gone here in the UK.
I think it might be prohibited actually.
The paneling on the one wall is English oak.
Thanks anon. Glad it is liked.
>>19827150
It is quiet squat.
Comfy but really low.
It is just right for two people sat upright next to one another.
I am 6 foot and if I rest my neck on one arm I can put the arch on my knees on the other and my arse in the very centre.

>>19827175
Lol we discussed this unironically as one wall faces the stairs.
There is a cubby under the stairs you could reach if you wanted.

>>19827147
That is nice anon.
Yours or a family place?

>>19826962
The 17th floor stairwell at work is the place for me!

>I am 6 foot and if I rest my neck on one arm I can put the arch on my knees on the other and my arse in the very centre.
That's just about right, my man. I have a very fat lazy chair that I bring next to the window in the morning. I bring my coffee and breakfast on a tray to the table next to it and rest my feet over the small couch it was split from, and put a blanket on my legs. My cat jumps on and curls up on my thighs, purring while I have my coffee. When the early light starts shining through the window I read for a while, but sometimes I just take another nap.

>>19827214
I would love to give you a blowjob there while you read, would you be up for this?

Awesome anon. I long for the day I have a study/reading room like yours. The wood bookcases with the burgundy chair look great. If I may ask, what is your career?

>>19826962
In a summer I’ll bring a lawn chair to this edge of my yard that looks out over a field. Or I’ll sit in the middle of my beehives so I can be surrounded by the hum of bees and smell of honey.

>>19827283
>If I may ask, what is your career?
I draw furry porn, my friend. The animal statues are for reference. That's how I can afford this luxury.

>>19827181
It's called "white oak", if someone is selling you "blonde oak" it's marketing.

>>19827188
>Yours or a family place?
I'm just shitposting anon, that's the Grolier Club in NYC. I've been to it and it is nice.

>>19827587
>>19827181
In my reference book for world tree species, I don't see even a colloquial name for blonde oak.

>>19827131
looks like OP's parents have been trying to copy your setup. Really embarrassing to be honest.

>>19826962
You should put some curtains up because the sun will bleach those books and ruin them in a few years.

In this context blonde oak could mean two things, it is from multiple species which are all close enough to white oak to group together but not all white oak or it is to help distinguish it from a more common (in the UK) European species also called white oak. The former is more likely in this case, common way for wholesale lumber lots to be sold to distributors and the big cabinet/furniture making industry, just says all off these species are close enough aesthetically that you can even out the color with stain and most people will never notice. Distributors will generally sort and grade them and sell them off as what they are, but the big cabinet/furniture makers are less picky and when a wood is being shipped overseas where the market does not really know any better so they just keep the blonde oak name and skip the bother of sorting for species. This practice is not as common as it used to be since CITES complicated things for the entire trade, but it is still around, in the US we see it most with Asian species but even some with domestic species, ipe is 7 different species (last I looked) and they do not even look all that alike ranging from a light tan with visible pores to a dark red with invisible pores, they just all perform equally well for what they are sold for and all will be the same grey color after a year in the weather.

My neighbor owns a sawmill and contributes to 3 of the professional organizations that grade American Hardwoods. He specializes in Black Walnut, White Oak and Red Oak species.

We grade the lumber at the mill, and it's illegal to call it something other than White oak, one of just under 100 species, because it's a regionally controlled good like your cheddars, perry, or scotch. Blonde oak doesn't exist. We have specific trade publications that determine everything from how the wood ismilled to how it's inspected and ultimately graded. Blonde oak is marketing as far as lumber production is concerned.

>>19827234
Sounds maximum comfy. Good for you anon.

>>19827283
Sorry my reply is so late. It is my parents place and they own an online apparel retailer. They sell swimwear and underwear.

Interesting. Will look into this to make sure they were not ripped off.

>>19827730
Unfortunately due to the shape of the bay no curtains are possible. But that is okay as the window overlooks a retaining wall and the light never shines directly on them.

>>19827323
>"the animal statues are for reference for my furry porn"
>the statues are feral, and not in an overly masculinized way that would be sexually appealing

Come clean, anon. You're clearly house sitting for some rich guy.

>>19829374
I am OP and that guy is an imposter. I do NOT like furry porn.

>>19829395

>Blonde oak is marketing as far as lumber production is concerned.
Which is exactly what I said. Not illegal and standard practice, they did not sell it as another species, they sold it as a product. I always hated your pedantry on /wwg/, just talked about your friends mill and posted picture of your wood stacks.
>>19829367
They were not ripped off. Nothing to worry about.

>>19829546
Oh, I definitely posted pictures of things I made for my friends, family, wife and kids. But yeah, I have huge stacks of wood at my house and give it away for good will amongst the people I meet.

I did an outstanding job of replicating desk drawers, FROM WHITE OAK, for a 1920s oak desk.

>>19829733
I really like the concept of this room, especially the warm lighting contrasted with the dark wood and the warmth of the tapestries, but the CDX, or at least what appears to be cdx in the low res image, gives the impression of this being sheathing rather than real wood panels.

>>19829709
That is just a mock up and the back is overly thick, picture does not show any of the details which would show it to be an excellent reproduction, dovetails are not even cut yet. But i suppose we can trust you that it was an excellent reproduction because your friend owns a saw mill

Dropped.
3 is the minimum. 1 under each arm, 1 on your lap. Also where is the blanket?
Those lights are LED aren't they? I can't judge until I have night shots though.
Maybe it's because your back is to the door in 2/3 of your decent sitting spots.

The pillow is just a throw cushion. You would never use it on your back though. The chesterfield sofas are too upright and supportive for that. The throw is just in the other room now. It needs a wash from the dust but it is gonna be there. And yes it is red tartan. The shelf lights are LED yes but they are off most of the time. The main lights are warm bulbs and non energy saving.
