Hi, Guys

I finally finished a project I've been working on - off & on - for several months. Every piece had to be made in the shop (some of them more than once...
Crazy  ). I figure I've got about 60 hours in it and 17 different flavors of wood...

No words I could say describe how great this project looks. My hat off to you! Some day I can only hope to become half as good as that.

Again no words to adequately express myself.

BTW I had to go elsewhere for the thumbs up doohickeys.

Congrats that took way more skill and patience than I will ever possess
