Nathan got this beautiful red wood from Bertoua (don't know the name of it) and made a shelf for Nandry. That's the real color, without any stain on it! Since the kids all share a room, this shelf goes next to her bed, giving her a little bit of privacy from her brothers. Nathan really enjoys projects like this where he can create stuff, and he's pretty good at it. Today he finally has some time to re-create the water tower that fell down shortly after we arrived. It's always neat for me to watch how carefully planned and purposed he is on the details of these kinds of things. Makes me proud!

Wow on the shelf! Wow again on the water tower. Wish I was there to hand you the tools. -Va Dad
Thanks for your encouragement Mom & Dad!
The wood is called "Paduk". Though it is not stained, it is varnished - which helps to bring out the red color and darken it a bit. The bottom space is enough to still be able to slide trunks in and out from under Nandry's bed. Thanks Laurel, Mom and Dad - love you.
Did you bring some new tools over with you. Great job on the shelves. Let me know how things are holding up over your time and I`ll try to keep you up on supplies when we come. Love ya man. Hug your family for me.
man - it looks GREAT!! What beautiful wood, and Nathan, you did a great job! :)
