Thanks for the vote!
I got the new 'latch' made out of the shop-glued veneer-plywood which sort of smelled like lignum vitae when I cut it. Also there is a 1st coat of wiping varnish on the carcass now. The milk-painted legs, after some alternative trials on a test-board (seen below) are now just coated with some Howard's Feed-n-Wax, which looked more low-key than other things (the Kiwi black shoe wax was especially too glaring).
Here is a view of the back portion which is mostly resawn sassafras:
Every project should be named, right?
- Fluted Femme?
- Wainscot Woman?
- or....
(Indiana owes a lot to Clabber Girl... Mr. Hulman of Clabber Girl wealth bought the Indianapolis 500 Raceway back in the day...)
Stay cool this weekend!
