Well, I've REALLY slowed down building these, simply because I work as much OT as I can at work and that's significantly lengthened the production time. I just finished this one after almost TWO MONTHS of work, mainly because it's black. Black is a complete PITA because it's one coat of stain per day, and fifty million coats for complete coverage. Then you smooth it with 400 grit or steel wool, then fifty million more coats to fill in the thin spots again. The smooth again. Then a hundred million coats of polyurethane, smoothing every 20 million so you get a very nice smooth finish. This is the largest one I've sold to anyone which also slowed production down.

Sold a few since the last update, and I have one I'm working on (a three row in "gasp" black again) and am doing a custom one for a guy that's really different due to what it's for.

Here's the nice one I jsut did though:





But this is how it comes out when done right (I still had smoothing and more coats to do but this was pretty close to being done):
