Well homework is going well for my first attempts at quad match veneering. I followed all the instructions and got my match completed, including cutting it down to proper size. The few items I could comment on are that I must have had some chip out in one spot on the cut, no matter how […]

Well I finally got the steamer trunk trays sanded up and the coat of Boiled Linseed Oil applied this weekend to both trays and the tray supports. While I was finishing the top sides I thought the grain pattern of one of tray’s bottom panels looked “some what” off. Then when finishing the bottom of […]
