      Oh, it's just a mirror! never mind.

        Very Nice! Did you build it from plans? If so would you mind telling where you got them? I have been wanting to build one of these for the wife, I just haven't found the right one. This looks to be it.

          I think that's one of the nicest pieces made from pallets I've ever seen. Great work.

              What all did you do for a finish?

                I have to agree with Shep.

                Those ol' throw-away pallets can be turnd into some very nice looking and functional pieces of furniture. Great job sir.


                BTW, sending a birthday wishes up your way to your wife. Hope she likes you gift.

                  If your wife has enough jewelry to fill that cabinet up I don't think she could complain if you bought a few more tools.

                  Nice job.

                        Worth the wait! Fantastic recycling sir The project looks amazing and the staining of the two very dissimilar woods came out perfect, great work!
