So I just posted the final coat of epoxy on the woodwork discussed above.
I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out and looking forward to learning more about making woodwork with the Southern Red Oak and my epoxy skills to boot!
I got something to put in this "treasure chest" and I plan on sharing it!
I've decided what to make next. I could use some good shelves. I know where I want to put them. So here are the steps:
1. Clean the place out around where the shelves will be installed.
2. Make the shelves - shelves are easy mind ya - but make them to last a lifetime.
3. Install the shelves made easy.
4. Put things on the shelves with some sort of order.
5. Decide what to do with the space been opened up by virtue of shelves made and installed to last a lifetime.

Reality is sometimes it takes a mess of moving things aside when the desire is just to create some shelves of order - for the future. I hope you can imagine that cause I can - that is why my next project if you haven't figured it out - is going to be to install some shelves simple.....I mean like - duh! Tis a no brainer when the idea is to increase order....and know where things are located and to increase the value of how space is used - make the most of it - ya know?
Well - to my pleasant surprise I have completed connecting the pieces physically and I'm pleased with the outcome. I still have some "surface coatings" to apply, but this "creation" will serve the purpose desired - even if it turned out a bit "unorthodox" and different than originally contemplated.

I can't post an image of it yet because it is a gift for a loved one - but I will after the gift is given later in the month.

It turned out better than I expected and I was able to make it quicker than I thought - so all in all this has been a good experience and I've got so many pieces of Southern Red Oak to work with. Now I have to decided what to make next.
I'll give two clues and that is that.
1. There is a particular piece there that is most curved.
2. Halloween is coming up and this epoxy artwork but the pieces free are destined to be connected!
