My oldest daughter just got engaged and the date is a little over a year from now.

I want to build the happy couple something exceptional as a wedding gift but I'm having major creative block.

This project should test my abilities and allow me to put to use some of the tools I've been stockpiling around here! (Really honey, some day I will use them! Just wait and see!). Well the time has come to put up or shut up!

I figure since I have a year this can really be something special. (Ok, ok....I probably won't actually start until a week beforehand and be in a caffeine induced woodworking frenzy). I know you don't know my skill level, etc. but I would really appreciate any ideas you might have or projects you've completed that have that special emotional flair.

FYI I have a ton of Myrtlewood lying about as well as a good selection of walnut and maple boards. Not a big fan of oak, prefer something very figured and eye-catching.

Thanks!
