    Cherry & maple jewelery cabinet

    Built for my daughter, her initials in glass panels. Let me know what you think?

    I think it is a excellently designed and crafted piece...your daughter should be proud on you. By the way, SG are also the initials of my hometown of San German...so, if your daughter do not want it, you can send it to me

    I think it is a beautiful piece of work with a unique design. Your daughter will forever treasure it!

    Excellent work, The curly maple really stands out. Now she will be bugging you to help her fill it up with shiney things with precious stones...

    That job resides with her husband. When I presented it to her she was very pleased. Mike, her husband, smiled at first then the realization that this was going to cost him sank in, enthusiasm waned.
    Thanks, for the comments.

    That is really nice. Did you etch the glass yourself?

    That is just beautiful. Wonderful work. It is sure to be a treasure to be handed down.

    The piece is beautiful, but for her, I'm sure it's the love you put into it that really counts!

    Oh, by the way, could we seee more of the table? I like the butterfly joints

    Thanks,
    Ed
