Ok, a bit over the top. But it gave me a way to use up some cut offs, and get more familiar with dovetails, my router plane, handsaws, fret saw, spokeshave, and various other planes and hand tools, and thin panel glue up.
The side profile is my take on the LN handle.
Dovetails were a bit gappy. First real project with multiple dovetail joinery. FYI, I tried something new to fill the gaps. I was planning to use Watco anyway, so made a paste of Watco and saw dust and used that as a filler. Let it dry for a week and continued with the finish on the rest of the piece. Not perfect, but better than gaps, and certainly better than glue and sawdust.
(Sorry, Brian, I went with the angled back piece, and sorry Stanley and George as well...hanging them may be better for the saw, but I was too far into this when I read that thread...next time).
