birthin' the baby

Well, after a relatively short gestational period, it is time to move the cabinet to its new home. Today we put the finishing touches on it--I'll finish it with clear polyurethane later on this spring. Here we are in the in the workshop.


Thanks to Uncle Kenny, Dad, Dwight, Mark, and Luke, loading the furniture was not too difficult, although we estimate that the piece weighs about 250 pounds. Fortunately, Dad is all set up for moving large pieces of furniture. This was about like moving a piano--only slightly lighter. By the way, we don't have any glass yet--that will also come later. We designed it so that four pieces will slip into place.
