That turned out beautiful, Shane. I absolutely love it! I have a suggestion for your next project... have you ever done any wood burning? You can make a framed out piece of wood and burn important dates on to it. Let's see... the wife's name, birthday, and anniversary! Make it big enough so you can't help but have it in your face every day!!!! LOL Thanks for another great project.
