Looks like a nice job. But, FYI, for your info, those "battens" are really called "ceilings". Berth is what you sleep in. Birth is what a doctor gives to a baby. OK, sorry.

 

[woodster]

OK, sorry.

no problem Bill i stand corrected..

Very nice. Does interior woodwork still count as bright work? If so, very nice bright work!

Beautiful.... What material did you use for the shelves? From the pics it looks like laminate counter top turned on its end. Very nice job.

Congrats.
