I started cleaning up the stock I got for the moulding piece that wraps around the bottom of the chest. Its obviously straight grained and joy to work with compared to the twisty, turney grain in the other boards. It’s smaller size and ease of working made it an easy evening project.
Cleaning off the fuzz and flattening one side with my jack plane.
Jack plane scallops on straight grained Sapele. Wonder which wine you pair it with. (note to self: must eat a bit more dinner).
Fresh out of the planer with a gorgeous surface. Can’t wait to see it under finish.
I tried to pick a nice quartersawn piece for you so it would be straight on the face. Are you moulding it by router or plane?
My first .. and hopefully final attempt with be with the hand plane. I only have a # 6 hollow and round. Hopefully they won’t be too small. I need to get 8s, but I just haven’t yet.
