    As a retired nurse, I appreciated your reference to the Bristol scale was quite appropriate 😊. This piece turned out very well considering what you started with. Love seeing the wood grain pattern in the top.

    The lovely thing about rustic is you don't have to have things perfect. As long as it is solid and level, the finish can embrace imperfections and even some gouging and dents you might otherwise want to fill or even replace pieces of wood.

    The 3D artwork is amazing. I feel for you sometimes because I think some of the pieces you tackle aren't worthy of the amount of effort you put into them. However, you seem to really like the challenge, and there's always the potential to learn a new skill or technique. Plus, you always end up resurrecting these pieces and giving them a new life.
