Mike,

What will you be using this beauty to do? If I had only 10% of your talent.

If you make your wife one, it will be an excuse to spend hours in the shed making other stuff as well.

Wow, that's amazing. The more I look at the photo the more details I see. Just beautiful.

Did you seal it with glass? Just the outside, or inside too?
