Some beautifully figured wood there. Nice contrast, and a great way to make points with the mother-in-law.

the original plan was a bunch of exotic woods that would have been very costly and me being poor, me and my dad made some changes. The panels are just plywood with some donated veneer from my dad, and the framing is ash wood. This was a much bigger project than I thought it would be, I was up for about 35 hrs the night before christmas eve to finish it. My head was swimming pretty bad as I put the last coat of laquer on it (boy that stuff smells strong). Thanks for the warm welcome also, I have a feeling I will be able to learn a lot from you guys!
