    I am quite impressed with your woodworking skills. Did you consider laminating your rail and stiles to match the curvature of the bow instead of using an angle? It looks great, but a little odd with the doors and face not matching the curve. Just asking, not taking anything away from your work.

    Please take a photo of the front of your house so I know where to kidnap you from and force you to build one like that for me ;D

    This is an awesome build, I can't wait to watch it all come out. If you don't mind I'm going to grab the tile idea for my next stand. I love it. Great work. Keep the photos coming.....;)

    Amazing work on the stand. I look forward to seeing this all come together. I have to hide this thread from my wife lol. She wants a corner bowfront as well. :)

    great work, mate.

    have you found out the kind of fish you would like in the tank. i really love tangs on a bowfront tank.


    but if you don't you still have a lot of time to think about what you like.

    ps: do not get a lion fish. i had one and he killed everything in my tank. :(
