July 2nd – With a number of passes on the table saw the final size of the door was “snuck-up-on”. A few tries at locating the piano hinge, and the lock could be mounted.
Looking at a rainy 4th of July weekend here in the Dallas area, I should finally have time and cool enough weather to sand out the casing and give it an oil job.
I’m still looking for a wood for the legs that will be darker than the walnut and be a nice matching color. Nogal was my first thought, but seems to have too much read in it. I am experimenting with ebonizing some scrap walnut and some red oak.
What dark wood looks good with American Black Walnut? Hmmm . . . . .
