Very nice! Your wife should do a self portrait of herself using the easel.

One of those paintings where we'll see her painting a picture of herself
using the easel that shows her painting a picture of herself using the easel that shows her painting a picture of herself using the easel that shows her painting a picture of herself using the easel. ;-)

I did find good uses for it. It also was useful for making patches for all my mistakes.

Beautiful work!

Thank you, Michael. I've been looking to build up my creds to participate in this knowledgeable group of woodworkers. I must be seasoned. I made enough mistakes on this project to last a lifetime. The main thing it did for me is to enhance my
experience and appreciation for wood finishing processes.

I would not call them mistakes. I would call them learning opportunities that will make the next project go even smoother!
