I'm very grateful to all who responded to my inquiry about rattle-can
lacquer. After considering the learning curve and all the ways I could
screw up a nice project, I decided to go with old faithful -- Minwax
satin poly.

Leaving tomorrow for delivery to daughter in NYC.

There ya go, a big jewelry chest on legs! For the serious jewelry
collector! Looks nice. I haven't seen one like that before. I am sure it
will be much appreciated.

You do realize, of course, that this is just the beginning. Every woman I
ever met, when faced with a new jewelry box, laments the fact that they
don't have any where enough jewelry to fill the thing.

Slippery slope, indeed. :-)
