The short end cap pieces cannot be glued since the wood will want to expand and zebra moves a bit... So they are held by splines that will be Wenge as I reach the next stage.
These were also cut on the bandsaw and the waste remove with a chisel and mallet. Notice the wedge paring technique. With the short ends held in clamps for alignment only... no glue. The long side were glued this morning. This project is simple enough with plenty of places to screw up if you are not careful. Rip miter glue-ups are a key technique in furniture making as is the splined miters so there is some new stuff here.
The top is glued up from boards unsanded or scraped... upon close inspection there is the normal zebra tear out.
I am going to take this baby to South Coast Sanding and let the big Cemco drum sander do its thing. Then I will do the fine sanding and detailing in my shop.
