That's some stunning work there! Now you just need to build a TV to match the 'stunningness' of your work!

Great job on the credenza Mike. I'll just put it here if you don't mind.

Here's what your post looks like currently, with the pictures far and wide and haphazard.

[attachment=3666]

This is a killer to people with small screens and also doesn't look organized.

[attachment=3667]

You know, organized like me. :innocent: And here's the reason your pics are all over the place - because the image codes are side-by-side in the text instead of in a column with a space between.

[attachment=3668]


Sometimes when you (and others who do this) have a bunch of pics the codes are all scrunched at the beginning and it's even worse. Now here a shot of of this post, showing the placement of the text and the images codes and with green arrows showing a space between the image codes and text for easy viewing . . . .

I can move this post mike but you ask for a tutorial so there it is. An y questions ask away. I have a question of my own . . . . is that a 50s sci-fi on TV?

Mike, I didn't edit your post because I want you to do it. After this tutorial you should be able to right?

Thanks Kevin-I will give it a try. I think movie was Key Largo with Edgar G. Robinson. Not a Sci Fi nut- Old westerns, mysteries, war Etc.

The picture format looks great.

But, what the pictures are of is fantastic! That thing looks beautiful. Definitely a lot of hard work but it paid off with an amazing piece!

I'm crying--ya'll have to just do with ebony padukee and a thousand unnamed tropicals that we kill for. lucky you.---------------Old forester

Ha, Old Forester, yep you are right I can't complain, I have had a chance to do some damage on a lot of different material. But no kidding I just like the way walnut finishes. I used to do a lot of boxes with really figured stuff, and it ws always a kick to see the character pop after the first coats of finish.

Thanks for the compliments. Finish is a no brainer wipe on by general. Fast-easy and dust is not a problem. Finish is also very durable.

Thanks Tim, I agree the drawers are distracting. What is more amazing and I am not good enough to capture with camera is the up close colors in the drawers. So much depth of color that you feel like you can stick your finger into it. Mother nature provides us with many wonderments but walnut is an amazing one.
