Lid opened

With the lid opened, you can see how Stanley stored the cutters in this style of a box.  The rest of the plane's parts all get stashed in the main compartment.  Dividers sit in hand cut dados.   I cut the two dados with a backsaw, then a narrow chisel to pop out the waste. 

Not sure where that racing stripe in the grain came from, but it goes along with the rest of the fancy grain.   I chose not to finish the insides...for now.
