Beautifully done. I'm sure he'd be proud!

Absolutely love the finger joints at the top. Such a classic look.

Thanks. I did a box joint there because I wasn't confident in cutting and assembling a decent miter there, so I set up my porter cable jig for that one joint.

Miters are the devil. Your box joints came out great though!

Miter joints are so simple in concept and yet you've got to be a sorceror to do them well.
