Has been discovered to be Cherry, might as well start a new story line?
Have cross cut and jointed a few pieces..

And trimmed the end grain to match each other..

And laid out the finger spacing, with a high tech tool..

Carried the lines around, dug out a backsaw and a wax candle

Wax helps the saw glide along. Grabbed the chisels to do a bit of chopping, until the two sides are done...

Then lay out the fingers on the end pieces. Twas getting close to lunch, so only one end was chopped..

And a test fit, will need a bit of fine tuning. Maybe after Lunch I can sneak back down ..
