Ice Box Conversion almost done..

[Big Mulac]

Here are some pics of during and almost after of the conversion of a 100 and something year old ice box. I applied the tung oil this weekend, and will be completing the trays, shelves etc.

The trays in the foreground will go in the top section stacked (somehow)

..funny you should ask. While I am not done with everything, I closed it up with a hygrometer, and a plastic tupperware pan of distilled water for three days when I was traveling. The hygrometer said 63% but I dont know if it was reading that high because it was at the level of the pan. I have been working on it in the basement & in the garage (when staining) so in the basement it said 60 degrees & 63%. I plan on restarting the process once I finish up.
