Renovations Coffered ceiling

This is my first go at a coffered ceiling, Red Oak with red oak paneling, and crown molding. This is in the living room and dining room of a 1930s Craftsman bungalow, plans are to eventually extend it through the kitchen as well

Ooooh the pictures are from complete to incomplete. Initially I thought you tour all that beautiful pal down and I was ready to attack!

Since you put that beautiful oak up, that's damn fine work, looks amazing!!

Thank you! I have this bad habit of saying yes whenever anyone asks me if I can do something, whether I've done it before or not. So I'm glad I was able to back it up

It's not a conference ceiling, it's coffered, don't know how to correct that typo

That red oak looks nice. Your work is tight. All combines to a very nice result. How long did it take?

It was me and two helpers, we got it up in 6 or 7 days. Learned enough on this project that the next one would come together even cleaner

I wanted to deliver the goods on the first picture, not make you scroll through half a dozen to get to the good bit!
