If you sand too much off a lidded box tenon is there any way to fix it?
The suggestions so far have been:
a. firewood
b. put in on a high shelf so no one will mess with it
c. glue, sawdust, and resand
More seriously, is there any trick to recovering. This box is one of the first I've done and not much to fret over, but I'd hate to get into the same situation with one I really liked. Maybe it just takes more trial and error and patience, which I'm sometimes short on.
