Very nice Rob.

I bet it doesn’t stay stored very long.

C’mon rc, off your rrrs and make something constructive…

You have done a bloody good job of morphing that slab into something presentable… it’d be a shame to toss in the towel now… after all even a beach towel wouldn’t cover it.

PS. I think that coffin needs some Anticol,

OK what gives LBD ducks don’t have teeth any way so I think a little bit of porky pies going on there.

what would LJs do without cards like you!

-- Regards Rob

OK time to behave:-

I must say a great big thank you back to all the LJs that supported me and commented on the blogs as they developed and eventually resulting in this finished project.

Well in a slab form at least.

Something in the wind? yep but I don’t want to give too much away just yet, apart from the fact it may just get a DT3 again!

-- Regards Rob

Rob,

That’s a pretty miraculous transformation! Can’t wait to see the piece of furniture it will become.
