well look, sometimes work out in ways you don't expect. My hubby just made
his brother in law a wooden briefcase..... darn, I forgot to take a
picture! And he made a mistake when he cut it, so rather than throw the
whole thing out (it was a little chip on the corner) which you just can't
DO with expensive wood, we brainstormed and decided to get some little
brass corner pieces to cover up the flaw and made it a design element. Now
it is no longer "exactly" like the picture, but instead has it's own
uniqueness. So don't worry if it's not exact, as long as it's loved.

Seldomly. (is that a word?)
