Hi David,   This is pretty much the arrangement my wife and I have.  She
will handle just about
any kind of oil or varnish finish on furniture and does most of the
interior painting, walls, trim, etc, in our
house.   She is very patient and like to help out to get projects finished
up (no pun intended).
I still need to show her about rubbing out finishes and applying wax
(should take about 10 minutes to
show her all I know) and maybe I'll totally out of the finishing business!
As for her involvement in other aspects, she is very helpful with design as
well as choice of color/finish.
Our tastes are simular, but sometimes I'm too involved in the mechanics of
building a piece to
get far enough away to get a really good astetic view.
I'd say encourage any and all interest she may have in your
hobby/addiction.
Good Luck,
Steve Bussell

snippage.....
.... Her husband built everything, and she finished everything.  I'm not
big on
finishing, so this sounds like a good plan.  I was wondering how much
others
get their SWMBOs involved in the work?
