Thank you. I am required to try harder so I can justify my barn full of woodworking equipment! :D

Tony, That looks AWESOME!!!

I love it ALL!! CAN you make one for me???? :lol:

Really, I am going to have to check out that side table and paper towel holder at LCG.

See you there and CONGRATS on finishing your galley.

Very nice Tony :applause: , the Honduras Mahogany looks great. I considered doing my cabin that way with Teak and Holly inlays but couldn't justify $150 per 1/4" sheet. I like your side tables. :thumbsup: Danny

When I found the property, I almost passed on buying it because the barn was much larger than I wanted. Now that it is full . . .

The biggest benefit is that being out in the country away from close neighbors, I can crank up the tools at all hours of the night. In fact, this past weekend I worked until 2:30 a.m. cutting and fitting parts for the galley. No neighbors to complain.

Miriam, MaryK, Danny--Thank you for the compliments.

Miriam--lots of ideas, and they are all stolen from other members on this forum!

Danny, my solution to the price of Teak and Holly is Mahogany and Cypress. The colors and effect are close, and at a fraction of the cost. I cut the cypress strips in the counter top twenty years ago to go in the floor of a sailboat I was rebuilding. The floor never got built, and I still had the cypress and mahogany strips that I cut. But I will be damned if I can find the mahogany pieces.

MaryK--Sure I'll build it for you. Did you just win the lottery because I am now pricing my work at art gallery prices plus any future appreciation in value. "How much?," you ask. How very droll. Let's just peg the price at "If you have to ask how much it costs . . ."
