The Workshop: "slow and steady progress" 11

The inlay has been inlayed. (And I chose the inside of the old pine for inlay, not the outer - painted and marred - side. I thought it would accept the stain differently than the cedar, provide a bit of contrast).

Sunken screws, to strengthen the lid, are in place and their holes are covered with woodfiller for a smooth look. If you can't see where I placed 24 screws, that's a good thing.

Cabernet stain has been applied, with a titch of thinner.





I've got five easy, final jobs this week: Apply two coats of varnish. Apply hinges. Deliver. Accept payment gracefully.

Slow and steady wins.
