                      No Heinz, i forgot to take pictures of the 2x4 and 2x6 framing i should have though.

                      Sean- i should have it stained and finished this week. I was going to get some custom doors made, BUT they wanted 450 bucks for them! so i said no thanks and i will just make my own....

                      they will not be as "fancy" per say, but should look nice. i dont want them to take away from the stand, so nothing to fancy....

                      thanks again everyone!

                            Madison still not sure going to get the stain today.... i really like Oak, but who knows yet maybe a nice red oak????
