I'm making the Southern huntboard from a Carlyle Lynch plan in FWW #39. The walnut carcass is finished and I'm working on the drawers which have an applied cock bead and string inlay. I plan on using cherry for the cock bead. This will be the first time I've done string inlay and cock beading. I have Steve Latta's article on beading that was in FWW a few years ago and a few more on string inlay. I also plan to do a few practice runs.
Since the cock bead is applied after the drawer is assembled, it appears to me that you should do the inlay first, assemble the drawer, and then do the cock beading. Is this correct?
Any other suggestions or tips are appreciated.
