Hi guys. I've been around for a while but don't post much. Have been working on this highboy and am ready for some advice as this is the first "reproduction" piece that I have tackled (Carlyle Lynch plans). Hopefully you can help me with a few questions...
1. I'm not sure how to finish off the shape of the knee blocks. Does anyone have a picture or other advice that might help?
2. I'm fairly new to handcut dovetails. Are there any tricks to cutting the halfblinds since there is a lip around the sides and top? I'm looking for some motivation since all the dt's in the upper case have not been any picnic with the tiger maple (but I am satisfied with the outcome so far).
3. If anyone spots something with the leg shape (or the project in general) to make it better- which I can still modify that would be great.
4. I'm interested in finish recipes for this if anyone has any thoughts.
Thanks for your help and sorry about the poor pictures.
