Appreciate all the feedback. Maybe its me getting older or maybe it was my time away from it, but i slowed myself down and paid attention to the grains and the little slivers of sapwood. I really enjoyed the process of it all instead of diving right into production.
When issues arose, like loose tenons, i took a step back. Nothings perfect and no ones gonna see that i used iron on edge banding to pad out the tenons 😂.
Im lookin forward to the next build. Ine of my best buddies saw it and wants to commission one. I wont take his money but i will have him buy some nice material for me to play with.
