I'll be the first to say, pretty dawg gone nice.

I'm not overly fond of oak (a bit over used in my opinion), but I wouldn't mind having that in my livingroom. and more importantly, I don't think LOML would mind either.

It is looking good. Your Mom will be pleased.

Looking good. Found out a long time ago that moms and wives don't mind waiting a bit for something, or at least they don't tell you!

I like it. Looks great.

People, espicall moms and wives, will wait for months to have a costom piece of furniture, instead o the K-mart "blue light special"

I guess I can stop worrying that my mom will tell me that it is
to ugly for a fish stand I forgot to mention the tank is 55
gallons and will have mainly cichlids that can't stop having babies.
As promised, I should have a complete project by next thursday, and
eventually some pictures. ****! I'm such a procrastinator.

Nice use of the grain on those two top horizontal panels...er, maybe they are drawer fronts?

Be sure to post a pic with the tank & fish in place!
