Don,
Last month I completed a mahogany end of bed chest that I began in 1969. I had
the carcase and an ill fitting lid. The coffin as it was dubbed traveled from
attics, garages, and basements in Austin TX, Arlington Heights IL, Knoxville TN,
Chicago, Columbus OH, Milwaukee, Memphis, TN, and Asheville, NC. 51 years later
I made a proper lid, added moulding top and bottom, made dovetailed bracket
feet, dyed the whole, wiped on oil followed by 4 coats of 1-pound cut shellac.
My longest term project.

Cheers,
John Johnston
