it only took me 3 months of part timing to get this done… though my 2 year old did help somewhat… what do you think? One think I noticed is there is much more detail involved then i would have thought… and i should not have tried the design… it only slowed the whole process down… but it does look nice… 🙂 i still have to put down the 1/4 round but thats it… i even ran all my speaker wires.. wife says now she can put her TV and workout in there… I am thinking no… that is my sancuary… from Benjamin !!

What a great job...I was thinking about doing the same in my living room. What kind of wood and stain did you use?
it was prefinished 3/4 oak, gunstock and natural for the border. but I am thinking maybe maple would have been better. if you can get a pneumatic gun... i used a manual, it wasnt hard to use, but when you got into any kind of tight space it was useless, about 2 feet from the wall.. got it from LL, everyones fav hardwood store :) but if you shop you can get some good deals, i got mine for 2.25$/ft seems everyone wanted the clear, i could only get 1 box, had to go to lowes to get one more box, at 83$ !!! oh well.. good luck, but i am sure there are pros on here who know light years more then me about this...Frank
