And finally, here’s a full-view shot of the finished Dolceola. This project consumed nearly every scrap of my spare time for two months, but I suppose having a nice, functional Dolceola out of the deal justifies this expenditure of time and effort. One thing’s for sure; I don’t ever care to see the inside of another one!
