I got professional photos done for my credenza. Hoping to start selling furniture. What do you think? (lemmy.ca)

If I was browsing through furniture on Etsy and the first image was that imprecise looking bezel I would close your shop and keep looking. It just looks like sloppy cutting rather than the hand of the artist. I would find other ways to show the artist's hand, maybe a hand-carved element or something. Especially for this style of piece which is emphasizing clean lines, having a wavy line looks sloppy not intentional.

The rest of the work should make the wavy bits obvious as being intentional, however questionable a decision it was to typical taste.

It isn't a style that is for everybody, but there is a shoe for every foot.
