Awesome work, Mike! As a fellow woodworker, I can appreciate the effort that goes into something like that. If you rounded over all 4 edges of all 1300 of those slats, that works out to about 1 3/4 miles of routing. I can't even imagine how much time you spent sanding and finishing all of them.
Before you go quitting your day job, think about how many hours you invested in this project. When I make anything elaborate, it usually works out to about $5/hr. I'd have to work 40 hours a day to make any money at it! A wise friend once told me that if I made my living at woodworking, it would become a job. I'd hate to have the joy taken out of making things out of wood.
