July 3, 201510 yr Still have to bevel the edge of the lid to match the top. flush cut a few Walnut plugs, and then think about a bit of finish. Trying to decide which way to show off a couple knots in the lid. If I keep the knots low, there is a narrow filler strip up at the hinges....If I reverse this, and put the filler strip at the bottom Knots would almost be centered. Have the top, where the lid will hinge to, attached . 7 screws, to hold it in place, counter-bored and plugged with Walnut plugs. I have a plug cutter and made my own plugs. Waiting on the glue to cure out, before a chisel and block plane make them flush. Efev cleaned up the dovetailed corners Slight roundover at the corners. We be getting there, getting close to the finish line, now.
July 3, 201510 yr Nice! I like the pencil/pen trays. If you leave the knots unfilled, then probably put them towards the top so they don't interfere with the writing surface.
July 3, 201510 yr i like the knots. i usually fill them with Epoxy and sand smooth. You can still see them and they don't interfere. Nice job Steve.
