Libby wandered out and before I could stop her she stumbled upon a stash of wood that I had hidden away for a rainy day project, as she came back into the yard I saw either a look of gleam in her eyes or maybe it was a reflection of doom for me but either way I knew i was in trouble. She had found a pile of old rosewood that she figured would make some great cabinets, with a little gentle pursuasion and not a little whining I convinced her that if she wanted new cabinets rosewood wasn't the way to go but rope mahogany would probably do the job too so she is getting all new cabinets, so far I've whacked together the drawer boxes for her new kitchen, I'm throwing in a pic of one of them with a coat of sanding sealer waiting to dry enough to dust and put some finish on. Hopefully the size is ok, I keep fiddling with sizing and can never seem to get it right.
Looks great, good for you guys , I'm jelous!!
Anything going on in teh Mich. area towards the end of June or beginning of July in the way of rallys? We are possible going to be doing a trip from Manitoba to southern Ontario and might travel through.

Not much going on up here at all lol, not sure about lower michigan but in upper michigan we're always looking for blood donors for our poor staving mosquito squadrons, poor things are getting so weak that I've seen them walking along the side of the road and sitting in lines outside the blood bank with little cups begging for donations. But I do have a coffee pot that is full most of the time lol.

Just a couple of the things going on in the area this summer, http://www.coppercountry.com/festivals/article_161.php http://www.hodag.com/schedule.shtml
To bad you're not using the Rosewood-probably my most favorite wood for both hardness and beauty. Good Luck, TomC
Tom, I may still use it for the faceframes, she is sure set on me using it, I kinda had a dining room set in mind but i guess this is a good cause too, rosewood is one of my favorites to work with too.
Cody, I just picked up 15 teak boards, 2 1/2 to 3 feet long, 5 inches wide and 5/8's inch thick. $33.00. Did I steal them or what?
Jack
WOW, Jack!!
Good going Cody, you take care of our girl. M&C
Yep jack, you stole them lol. One other motorhome we have is a Revcon, the interior was all solid teak so when i redid it I used teak again, it's nice to work with and great colors, especially the heart wood.
Cody,
Nice job, are you taking orders? I could send you a BIG LIST ha! ha!
Jack are you coming through Indianapolis on your trip?
Steve 5B......

Jack

I don't think so. When we leave Florida we are going up through Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky on our way to Illinois to vist family. From Central Illinois to Elkhart and then to Michigan. From Michigan over to Cleveland and then through the Visrginias, Carolinas and Georgia, before returning to Florida mid November. Jack
Jack, if you stop anywhere near Woodbridge/Dale City let me know, I will have the coffee on.
