That is absolutly beautiful! If you are not careful, you may get those of us in the spa industry hounding you to purchase these to resell ;) I love wood and all that you can do with it. I hate that so many spas are going to just sythetic cabinets. A synthetic cabinet would not have looked as nice in your pegoda!

Totally awsome job!!!

How do you access the pumps in the spa?
DOOHHH! I knew I forgot about something!  ;D JK  If you look right below the front pergola post you will see the line where the left and right steps split apart. So I just pull the steps out if I need to access the pumps. The post goes all the way to the decking (steps wrap around it).

Very nice Northwoods. What happened to your spa model?
She is the Gardener. She didn't want to get her bikini soiled so she planted in the nude. I can post pictures if anyone is interested...

Nice oak leaf detail.  You buy one of those little Craftsman CNC mills?
Actually, try a $175,00 Komo CNC Router. But I have been wondering how those little Craftsman things would work.  They look neat. I would expect for small 3d carving they would work great. But they are very limited in size and capability.

That's what I was thinking! Amazing craftsmanship! Pretty good for your first attempt at woodwork!  ;D
Baby even the losers... get lucky sometimes.

Well, you certainly threw enough tool at the job.  ;)

I think I'll go intarsia.

I like the idea and look of intarsia.  Just make sure you use wood species that can take the weather.
