Thanks Kevin and Tony! This end-graft has proved to be a fun challenge. And, I think I'm finally done. Maybe.
For anyone who's ever wondered how you know what angle to cut miters at, see the reflection?
And now with the boxed in sections fully boxed in...
Fitting in some more pieces of maple...
And after trimming the maple and fitting in one last bordering section...done!
I
might still put a small narrow section of spalted maple in the middle. I'll probably do a sample piece tomorrow and tape it on before deciding. Overall though, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! Now I just need to bind the thing...
