Rich, 

Just wanted to say “thank you” again for your work on my niece’s hope chest.  My wife and I delivered it last night.  My niece was teary eyed when we uncovered it in her just purchased new home.  She was overwhelmed when she saw the before and after pictures.  You truly are a great craftsman.   

Kindest regards,

Rick K.
