Well a couple viewers asked for a look at how it would finally sit in a room. Here are a couple photos. Others in the Gallery if you are interested.
I needed some help to get that heavy bookcase up on the desk. After a while, it adds up and I just couldn't do it by myself. Please excuse the background stuff -- it comes with the shop/storage area at the school where I am working.
I worked on this an hour here and an hour there while my wife has undergone cancer treatment for the past 2 years. She is coming along well after her stem cell transplant and I am really feeling positive for the first time in a long while. Her health and recovery has made this a great time and the desk has just been a small positive part of the experience. There's a little bit of my wife's beauty in the piece but I don't have the skills right now to capture all of it. Maybe next time.
I'd like to take a moment to thank all of the viewers for their nice comments and encouragement. Thank you.
If anyone out there decides to take on this rather lengthy project on their own, feel free to give me a shout. I have lots of scrap mouldings, measurements and a bunch of ... Oh sh@@ pieces around to keep me grounded.
Adios
