Simply jaw-dropping beautiful. Work to be proud of.
Question: are the doors pinned bridle joints or pinned M&T's?
Most humble congratulations on a brand new heirloom.

I've been blessed to have a wife that has allowed me to equip my shop with most of the necessities.
She allows me to express my enthusiasm as I run upstairs to show her the latest bit of success with my current project.
She looks and listens as I explain what I've done, sometimes providing a little common sense advice that often evades me.
She allows me ample shop time, when available.
She allows me the freedom to choose the project I would most like to tackle next.
She allows me to make noise in the basement while she's trying to read.
Through her generosity, she has allowed me to strive to become a better woodworker.
This is more than anything I could hope for under the tree.
My wish is that she continues to tolerate me, for without her, even the newest and finest tool in my hands would simply be working with wood, not woodworking...
