Rick LoDico Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 1000 different steps in construction and I screwed up 900. And I refuse to discuss why there's splines near the bottom. Mysteriously, they're exactly the same distance from the bottom as the depth to the top. Mahogany veneer and maple. I did discover Timbermate wood/pore filler and like it a lot. Water it down and paint it on, then sand it off. Smooth as silk. This is with the first coat of Waterlox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Rick, Looks pretty darn neat to me. I like making boxes and using the splines when mitering the sides. A couple of times the mitered ends just weren't tight enough and I ended up chunking them. One time I decided to run the ends thru the table saw and add the vertical splines/trim like you have done. I like it so much that I usually do all of my boxes this way, after I sand the vertical splines smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
