Now what you need is a nice Blucky corpse to go inside...

Nice coffin. You did a great job!

Nice job, Mummy. It looks really great!
Glad to hear that you built it with your Dad. That makes it extra special!

nice coffin! do you plan on staining it, painting it or leaving as is?

I did put a clear coat of stain on it. I wanted to keep the wood look, since that is how they looked back then, but I didn't want it to rot either. I like it so much, I've considered keeping it as a coffee table. =) But I don't think hubby will go for that.

WOW!! Nice job! I love the handles too. (I guess I need to add some now too since it really would make it a heckuva lot easier to move!!)

My suggestion is to either spring for a Bucky skel from ACC or buy a really nice mask, a styrofoam wig form, and some old clothes from Goodwill. You can stuff 'em with plastic bags or whatever you've got lying around and make a nice dead guy. If you can find one, I think Morbid Industries makes a really cool looking foam-filled latex dead guy...

Or... Since it would be most appropriate, given your name...

That's great, I'll have to take a look when I go to Minneapolis in three weeks. =)
