Quite a bit of detail for a wall no one will ever see. Beautiful prefinished birch and black welting in the corners.Image

I see I have not updated my build is a bit. I’ve been plugging away at the galley. Slow going at I live in Phoenix and I’m sure you have seen out heat issues on the news. I do get a few hours in here and there. Here’s a fresh photo from today.Image
