Some days are better than others; some worse than most. Today was one of those oops days I suspect most of us have experienced from time to time.
Rather than starting with a new block of padauk I am making a slight redesign to cover, do away with the oops. I sliced of some of one side and have a slab of something brown glued and clamped. I say something brown as I have no recollection what it is. It’s not American walnut. The glued up laminate is on the left. The wood on the right is just a clamp block. Tomorrow I’ll trim the excess and then slice off just enough to return the block to its former thickness. Then carry on.
The contrast between red/orange and brown should look fine. I hope it looks planned.
To add insult to injury I misplaced the wonderfully round piece of copper sheet I made. It seems to have been swallowed up the the gremlins. :person_facepalming: So I found two 1976 pennys and filed away the design on the tailside. I’ll use those rather than carve and file some more sheet goods.
