I have GOT to get up to Chicago, if possible see your shop and meet you two! If for some reason you are ever in Springfield, you have dinner and drinks coming on me! LOVE YOUR WORK!
A trick I do someitmes when the wood is sliding is give the glued surfaces a sprinkling of salt. Gives it a bit of grit while wet and the salt seems to harmlessly disolve.
We’ve been trying to play with multiple ways to make the same thing with different tools. Honestly, our lathe is pretty small so I’m not even sure it would fit. 😂
I really like the accent strips you added in! I'm lazy and would have used the XCarve to do most of the routing portion. Have you ever tried that? Hope all is well there...
You can definitely do that and it would certainly be easier! We try to find multiple ways to do the same thing since not everyone has a CNC or laser. Plus, it’s always fun trying something new. 🤓
