Absolutely stunning work!

My only nit-pick of this gorgeous creation is the grain orientation of the bottom stretcher being horizontal instead of vertical.

Truly inspiring work! And despite your previous setbacks with this project that smile doesn't look like it's going to leave your face anytime soon lol I will have to give this technique a try sometime.

Thank you!

Ya I don’t love that either but I felt it was necessary for structure.

I’m super proud of it!
