I spent the last couple of days milling wood down to size.... there are a lot of parts to these things.... each side has four pieces.... and we haven't even started on the lid or the spanish cedar.

I went with a double "V" groove on the base of this one.... rather deep... I wanted to break up the base a little bit, as I had to make it a little over 3" in order to get the 12" height as ordered.... Hard to find curly maple wider than 10".... but, where there's a will, there's a way....

Cut and glued in and sanded down the splines.... drilled the hinge holes and cut off the top.... she's coming along very nice.... start working on the lid next..
