Almost Done...

I started making this bookshelf in April and I am just now getting it finished. We just needed a bigger bookshelf and rather than buying one I chose the hard way and decided to build one. So, I came up with a design, bought the wood, and went to the woodshop on base and made it...with lots of assistance from the master carpenter. I had decided to stain it black before I knew I was pregnant and bought all the stuff to do that, but ended up having Branden stain it so I wouldn't breathe the fumes. He stained it, but he has never stained anything before so it didnt turn out very good. So it sat in the garage for a few months til I decided what to do with it, and I finally ended up sanding it down a little and painted it black. I think it turned out pretty good, now I just need to finish the leaded glass panels I decided to put in the doors, but it may be a while because I can't make them while I'm pregnant, unless I teach Branden how to do it! But for now the doors are just open. Here are some before and after pics.
