Larry. This a copy of the post by John Miliunas that I used as directions to post pictures for the first time
"Attachments are pretty easy here at SMC, though. First, make sure your jpg isn't more that 100kb in size and it should max out at either 600 pixels horizontal. When you're done with your text, go to the "Additional Options" at the bottom of the post page and hit the "Manage Attachments" buttom. When the next winder shows up, "browse" to the file on your machine, select it, then hit the "upload" buttom. It usually takes a bit before it appears. If you have more pics (up to 5), repeat the procedure. When you're done, hit "close this window". Unfortunately, you can't "preview post" after that to actually see it. Just hit the "Submit Reply" button and you should see the actual post. If you need to edit, you can do so afterwards. Good luck!"

Nothing wrong with that piece of furniture Larry. :p Very nice!

Hey Larry, I think you've reduced the size of your "tab" by a fair bit with that pic. You certainly deserve a better mark than a C in my books! You are most definately under-estimating your talent. :) What are the woods you used - the panels look very much like Juniper - but of course I'm wood illiterate.:o Thanks for sharing.

Larry, looks good to me! I like the contrasting woods and the figures in the darker wood!:D

[Jim Ketron]

Great Job Larry!!
Whats the wood you used?
Looks like you used red cedar for the panels?
And white oak?
Jim

i used red oak for the main carcas and aromatic red cedar for the panels, back, and bottom floor. had 4 coats of wipe on poly. the cedar acted like a sponge and will pretreat next time. see a old dog can learn new tricks from the wisdom offered here ;) thanks for the replies

Hey Larry:
Very nice piece of furniture, very professional work that you can really be proud of. By the way, I knew I seen your picture before, it was in a "ZZ Top video".
