    Let's try this again. My post disappeared.

    Thanks for all the comments. Here is the glue line issue. First image dry, second spritzed. It almost disappears and since it follows the curve it looks like part of the shape. Normally I would start over, but glue line versus trashing perfectly good mahogany; glue line is the lesser of two evils.

    Looks fine, there is no way I would start over.

    This is going fast now. Pulling a midnight shift tonight. Morticing the top rail and working on the seat shape. I may leave this lip. I like the look of the angle and the way it plays with the light. 20150226_203851.jpg20150226_201543.jpg

    Agree with Brian, as much as you might wince, you'll be the only who ever notices the glue line...let her be.

    The power went out today... But who cares?!?! :-) Thank goodness for neander tools.

    I spent today getting everything fit together. The wedge in the back to which the stretchers mount will double as a cup to put your ring or cuff links. I made a tenon joint so that it holds weight with ease. It will get epoxied on as well. Note that everything is a compound curve. Nothing is flat on this thing, so mortices are curved, and the splat meets the top rail in a curve that also angles front to back. Also note that I will final shape the splat after gluing because it is so brittle.

    I Have two days to finish this. I can varnish it when I get to the states- flying Wednesday to visit family and give this to my sister-in-law. It is cold where I am going and I hope Mom doesn't mind the smell of Goldspar in the house. I don't think it will cure outside, and it is clear I will not get this varnished before I leave.
