You do gorgeous work! The cage and your "slate" wall both came out great!

Re: Completed new enclosure...

Whoops, deleted the wrong pic...



Because I used water-based low VOC poly and epoxy, it only took a few days for everything to 'air out' on the cage itself. Most of the cage is glass. The top and back is WB poly, the bottom is GlazeCoat epoxy. He's at home as I type.

Total cost for the entire build of a 48Wx30Tx24D enclosure and base was $825. The closest thing I found was from CagesByDesign at double the cost. I didn't like the door, the fact that it had too much wood framing, and was only 24" high. That includes the background and the grapewood branch. Those were more than $100 of the cost, and were extra at CBD.
