My daughter (whom we are very proud of) -top-of the class, works full time and is a wonderfull person, will be moving out next year some time and one of the most useful pieces of furniture my wife and I got when were first married (thirty years ago) was a large flat topped hope chest that was used for a table, TV Stand, storage, base for a chest of drawers. I have always admired Nakashima Furniture and with my access to incredible Walnut will construct this project from tree to living room and document the progress, Hopefully)
