been awhile

29 days ago I went to Shawano to buy wood to make the greatest granddaughter in the world a Christmas present. This picture was taken a week later (12 November 2011). The first week I glued up the panels for the 'box'



Today (3 December 2011) I did the final glue up - (still have to glue the lid though)





Had a major screw-up. Should I even post that? It wasn't a screw-up, it was preplanned - yeah, we'll go with that.
I cut the back panel too short. I was ready to send my procurement department (aka Deb) to Shawano to buy more wood when Don (http://donurness.blogspot.com/) told me to make it look intentional. Pure genius - I love the way it turned out.


Tomorrow the finishing department (aka Deb) gets to work:)
