Nice addition to your tank.
Looks very nice, good job.
And a nice match to the base.

Very Nice, progressive photos. #4 as the final result makes the Aquarium stand out much more than the other 3 photos.
Very Professional woodwork and Photography too 😊👍

Very nice.
I like 'Darkened the knots' the best.

The knots would eventually darken with age but I wanted instant results. They, too, are a favorite feature of mine.

As was mine. He was chief of hardware sales for a Sears. I still use his tools regularly, along with his teachings.

What a beautiful canopy for your aquarium, I have 2 aquariums with plastic lids which look very boring up against your wooden ones.
