kolwdwrkr, I got to say, you do nice work. The inlays are great and the carvings are very clean.
Very nice looking unit.

Hey kolwdwkwr;
You sure don’t look for the easy way out with your projects do you.
I’m starting a new club, entitled; “If It Ain’t Impossible, Why Bother”.
I think you’re a shoe in!
Great vision, great execution, great workmanship. If anyone, anywhere, had doubts about you being a master, this should set them straight.
Awesome
