Your work is all really gorgeous. If I could suggest one thing though, it'd be to bevel your edges so they're not so sharp (especially evident around the chair legs and birdhouse edges).
Also do you use occlusion? If not, you'd be surprised how much it would add, and if so, you could kick it up a wee bit I reckon.
Thanks for the compliment, and for the suggestions too. I did chamfer the edges of the chair, but I suppose I could have been a little more agressive with it. I just don't like for woodwork to have radiused edges, if you know what I mean. Lately I've been wanting to rough up the edges of my 3d lumber, so it looks less clean. I can always do it in post, but I'd like to have a set of beat up wood models just for building old things.
Thanks again - I took a quick peek at your gallery and I want to go back and look at the tutorials/resources.
Yeah warping your verts so they're not 100% even and doing a soften normals might help too maybe? It's just a very sharp very straight line which is looking a bit odd.
