If you are close to one of these museums stop by and check them out.

Finished or Unfinished

The unfinished set includes all the same pieces that the finished set has but all the corners need to be rounded with a router, all the boards need to be sanded (the edges mostly) and the three coats of finish applied. This is about 30-40 hours work depending on how handy you are. See this link for more discussion of what's involved: http://www.woodshop4kids.com/faq.html

$2500 Finished • $1500 Unfinished + shipping
