Star - sorry about your luck. The princess is from Super Mario Brothers - maybe the second one. I can't quite remember. She is busy pulling those onion things out of the ground and putting them above her head.
And, by the way, look at you steaming towards 750. All aboard!

I have to say, I get tired just watching your avatar. If I might add, I really did like your previous avatar. Can't go wrong with classic Molly! Well, just one opinion from someone who doesnt take change easily.
Sparky: I built two of them at the same time. My dad had me build one for my mom for their 35th anniversary and this one was for Mrs. DT. My mom's is a darker walnut color. My mom passed away a couple years ago and my dad remarried but my understanding is that hers is to go to my neice eventually. I had about 150 hours in each one. Materials were about $900 each with all the glass, mirrors, lights, hardware etc. The Carpathian Elm burled veneer on the drawer fronts alone was $300 for both pieces.
JR: I do work for myself here in my shop. We moved back out here to central NE from Lincoln for the lifestyle, and family, not the business opportunities. I worked for "the man" during our 8 year stay in Lincoln. I knew the cost in that there are not enough "high end" customers in this area willing to pay the cost that kind of work requires. Most of my work is small boring stuff. I do a lot of refinishing and repair work.
Thanks again.
