Backstory: Last year, I built a table that resembles the downtown skyline of Minneapolis.

I didn’t intend to keep it after I finished building it, so I contacted a few local organizations to see if they’d be interested in accepting it as a donation. I’m happy to announce that the Minneapolis table has found a home at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, a fine-arts museum in Minneapolis.
