Stan - thanks for checking it out. When I made it into the workshop, I had completely forgotten about the cedar too. It used to be my computer desk until I built a new desk out of a pallette. So the cedar sat unused - this will be the perfect project for it too!

Jean - yes, Step one was probably the hardest part of the entire project. smile

Tom - thanks for checking it out and the kind words. I'm actually considering selling/auctioning off the "other" build - the harp guitar and donate the winnings to JPF. I think JPF needs the money more than I need the harp guitar. I would donate it to Brian's medical fund, but he has requested that we continue to support JPF.
