I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

That is some very fine work with exceptional wood. It's not often I get a log like that w/o a single defect in the boards you'd want to pair together.
Beautiful.
