What finish did you used? Posted: 3:52 pm on November 4th

I don't really have any plans per say for this piece. I just jotted down the dimensions given here. The design process was heavily based on a mock up, and then it went from there. It got slightly smaller once or twice!
Thanks for the positive comments, it's always nice to get a pat on the back.

Rob Brown writes: Very, very classy! It's nice to see a piece that's based on proportion and balance, as opposed to one that hits us over the head with excessive figure and loud lines.
