<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gillespie, post: 198695, member: 3676&quot;]Hello everyone! I am just finishing up a project that I am very excited about.&nbsp; So I joined this forum, so I can share the story and pictures with people who may appreciate it<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; So this is what&#039;s going on.&nbsp; A very close friend of mine is a very talented wood worker, and also very creative. Two years ago he Acquired some wood from an old train station that had been taken apart in the early 1980&#039;s. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The station was built in 1860.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; He talked about building a large hutch for my house, using two narrow tall doors as the end panels for the hutch. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The wood is different colours of crackled vintage paint.&nbsp; Yet I couldn&#039;t quite picture what he was visualizing. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Then on December 15th he called me up and said he was going to start the project. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; With our Christmas budget spent, it may not have been the best time.&nbsp; But I didn&#039;t want to miss my opportunity knowing that his work is second to none in my opinion.&nbsp; So I gave him the go ahead, and spent a lot of time in the followIng&nbsp; week hanging out with him and helping with the project in his shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Before I go further. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is this an appropriate place to showcase such a piece? </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The hutch itself is not an antique, but the materials are </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thankyou<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
