Pictures! Pictures! (please)

I have what you made for us as a wedding gift here in my room, and they are so beautiful. You really do some excellent and quality woodworking.

I am definitely going to take pics of the process. I didn't make it into the woodshop on Sunday after all, but hopefully I can get in there one evening this week, or on next weekend.
