Picture frame with integrated stand

Cocobolo, future gift for christmas.  What a pain to add a finish to it.  I think I should approach cocobolo differently.

Better pictures of our deck and pergola

Shortly after finishing, the rains came.  Had a random day in december where it wasn't rainy for pictures.

 Both pergolas.  

 Main part of the deck - hidden fasteners

Deck railing.  Side facing the neighbors that adds privacy and a base for the future outdoor kitchen counter
