The Boxes

With the mahogany TV/Mantle cabinet completed and delivered I was able
to go back to the boxes.

I had six boxes, remaining from the eight total, to sand and finish,
Plus 204 small top pieces to round over the edges, sand the round over
on all sides of those pieces, apply 3 coats of finish and finally buff
to smooth all of those pieces including the round overs. Last step glue
those pieces in place. Amazingly none of those 204 pieces disappeared
during the 4~5 week rest and finishing period.

Counting the box sides, tops and bottoms, domino's in the corners joints
and the small top pieces each box had 44 pieces of wood and or 352
pieces for all 8 boxes.

All total there were 8 boxes. Two had to be be completed 7 weeks ago.

Thank you. I think there will be one or two left over. 3 gone, 4

They are beautiful.

Are you sure you have my correct address? I'd hate to have mine end
up in the dead letter room.

Wow, I'd be cross-eyed after all that!
Great work as usual.
