flowerseller March 25, 2009 Author Share March 25, 2009 I was talking about my new tank enclosure. Bob (ybe) and I have been working on completing the oak facing to build my tanks into the wall. Once we got the facing done and I finished sanding, Sonya went to work. She stained all the face plates and the 14 doors in Golden Oak to bring out the beautiful wood grain in the oak we used. Then she started each morning putting a coat of polyurethane on several pieces, putting a second coat on around 4:00 and a third coat on before sleeping. She got up and did it all over again until we had three coats on all fronts and backs of everything. It looks awesome. Here's a few pics before: A few during: A few after it was up: It is so sweet and we are so happy. Thanks to ybe's awesome wife for letting him have this much fun working with wood.

jnguyen4007 March 25, 2009 Share March 25, 2009 Needless to say, Bob (Ybenormal) did it again. He once again outdone himself. The proof is definitely in the pudding. The man is truly a master wood craftsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLazar March 25, 2009 Share March 25, 2009 Chip and Bob, Beautiful job, truly. What are you keeping in the 2 smaller side tanks? How much room do you have behind the tanks, is it a room? Love this look, can't wait to see it all done and stocked.............. hoping for a tank tour. Bob - you have a wonderful talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flowerseller March 25, 2009 Author Share March 25, 2009 I have 6 feet of bi fold doors behind the main tank so access is not much of an issue. The top holes are for venting that is not complete yet. We also have to put a few moldings around the edges. It really sets the room off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
