Great work and excellent result.
Can you estimate (if no log book) man/hrs. spent for the construction only (excluding designing & finishing)?
I thing it involved alot of work. You did it and you did excellently!

Very attractive. It’s hard to imagine some one moving this out from the wall to clean or recover something that’s fallen behind. Just the hardware alone would be a load.

This is a gorgeous piece, Les. It is nicely antiqued as well which gives the piece a lot of character.

Another exceptional piece of work. Just wonderful!!!

woodworm, There is around 95 hours it this piece, which includes time re-sawing the large timbers the provided to build it out of.

Thanks everyone for your comments!
