Thanks guys, it's fun to re-purpose items that actually had nice design...i-pod docks now look all the same to me..just shiny plastic. The whole reason for adding the handles on the side was that I can take this outside and actually use it by the pool and people get to see something different.

Walnut portion is done, handles added and now for the black lacquer side fillets. I do not have much experience with open grain woods as I try to steer clear of them to reduce tear out which has happened a little on this but it's a learning curve.
