crown cases are here!

I picked up my first batch of crown cases from the cabinet makers on Friday.  I got a chance on Sat evening and yesterday afternoon to sit down and inspect them.  Overall, they're exactly what I wanted.  We have a few kinks to work out yet (a few lids are askew and need to be remade.  padded feet were left off).

I just need to install the Lexan window. and prep and install the bases.  I'm not pleased with how my wooden icons stained up...there's too much detail--and the oak grain really picks up the stain.  I need to find a solution pronto!
