I don't have any pictures-- no before/after sort of thing as I am usually done with these projects before I think about taking pictures. I'm not big on that. I did this a little over a year ago and they look the same today as they did when I finished putting them back together. Not that this is any evidence of how they will look in 30 more years but there's a good chance I will be done with them by then any way... Chris -- Chris Elmquist
