The extra work on the panels is paying off.

What only four????


Some very nice worrk.

Thanks fellas for the encouragement, I'll keep plodding on

Those work-arounds are excellent, much better than plugging with resin. Looking good.

Great stuff !! Well done I bet there was some cursing going on ?

There are those moments when the splits r first revealed after resawing, and how am I gonna fix that. then when I decide I am gonna cut the splits out and there's this humungous hole to fillawww farrrk Have I done the right thing? There's lots of those moments

I think that we all got something that did not go exactly as planned.

A bit more progress....
Made a pattern for the router using a btm bearing follower bit for the tops of the panels/doors, once it is all set up makes quick work of it

Laying out the boards for the top, top glued and clamped and a bit of inlay close up, continuation of the bookmatched segment theme, allthough these pieces are one piece, hope it will look okay in the finish.

The finished product should be extra special because the raw state looks pretty special.

Looking pretty smick.
