J:
Planning, Design, Layout and cutting. All extremely tedious and time consuming.
Just one "OOOPS" is a real Aw-Schise! It's obvious you sweat bullets over that great job!

great work J!!! You guys amaze me with the woodworking skills. I wish I had the time and patience to do that.  Is the RLO finish a clear or is there any color to it?
Keep up the good work and definitely keep us posted on your progress.
