Finally finished my center console project. It’s far from perfect and my first try making one but it will do for the time being!

Haven’t posted in a looong time. COVID and deployments kicked my ass over the past few years. Just moved from Florida to Louisiana and almost settled in. Once I get everything put away and organized Smitty’s Tackle production will be back up and running! Stay tuned for updates and thank you to all my followers and those who support this passion of mine and continue to encourage me on this journey! I am nothing without y’all!
