Chuck,

These pieces are visual delights. Your staining really pops the grain. Your finish on the piece looks really good.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Beautiful. Top notch work.

I bet all those little drawers were a pain. The tombstone doors are great.

Thanks to everyone for their compliments. I’ve been at this so long that I’m bound to get on base once in a while.

Mike, keep an eye out for my blog to get started. I also want to do a few videos that I’ll be able to post. I’m still trying to figure out exactly how this place works, so keep an eye out for my forum posts. I plan on adding some small tutorials on different subjects. Right now, I’m spending most of my time here looking at others’ work and reading through posts trying to pick up things I know very little about (which, for those that know me, is quite a bit).
