Love the inlay!

Hi Tim,

I really prefer pick up for this unit, but if it isn't sold by this weekend I will look into getting it packed on a pallet.

Cheers,

Rab.

I'm sorry Tim, but at this time this item is pick up only.

If not sold locally I might consider freight but I'm not sure how to go about arranging it. The unit would need to be palletized and I...

Very nice! I like the first box the best.
