Wonderful work Phil! Way to go!!

   I have a slightly different take.
   I once made a cabinet very similar.  Whether is was as artistic or 
not would be up to the beholder. All art is a subjective thing.

  For me it was about scoring some drop dead gorgeous blue stained pine. 
Fungus stained pine is not uncommon where I live. Its a downgraded wood 
compared to plain.
   But these 3 pieces I found was God on a bright spring morning, at the 
paintbrush. Richest blue and shimmering gold. With random streaks of 
dark chocolate accentuating the contrast.
It was the prettiest wood I had ever found at the time.
  I built the little cabinet just to show it off.

   I have adored James Krenov ever since I first became aware of him. 
But I can't help but think that sometimes the material presented itself 
first and the poetry came after.
