My youngest daughter just turned 18.

She got a box.

Beautiful work, Al! Can’t believe she’s 18 already. We must be really OLD :)

Very nice. Our tastes may be different, but I admire your work. Your wood selection and craftsmanship are superb. Probably won’t get you out of the car deal though.

Much better than a car, especially years down the road…

A great case. Beautiful wood selection
This will last longer than the car.

Love the contrasting woods, and you can never go wrong with curly maple! Exquisite design!

Great job! I can see there has been a lot of time spent on grain matching.

Very good grain matching! Well, it doesn’t require servicing much and it won’t depreciate in value, a MUCH better deal than the car!
