treeslayer Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 thanks for the comments guys, she wanted it "rustic" hence the knots and worm holes, similar to the hope chest i made for her a while back, yes steve, signed and dated on the back, oh yeah and coop, you know what Tom Petty says " never slow down, never grow old" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
