Thanks everyone for the compliments, as for matching Glenn’s expertise, I don’t think I’ve reach that level yet but it was a fun project and is a good technique builder.

Beautiful job on this project. I envy your talents with the styling and the drawer detail. Nice job.

-- Do we do this for purpose or passion?

Awesome job. How long did it take you to complete?

-- Bud, NY, http://tpww.libsyn.com/

lots of curved and shapely surfaces inside-when the doors are closed it looks like a real nice but when you open the doors it like a different universe it reveals the two shells and curved surfaces at desk level. love it Smitty
