Jim - thanks. The texturing was done to disguise various oops - my new slogan is when precision fails, try distraction 😉

HokieKen- thanks for all the tips and suggestion. Really like the one you shared. Right now I'm on the simple end of the continuum.  Like the idea of flocking inside the case as well.

Pottz - thanks. I was so annoyed with myself that I didn't check the 90 - knew that was important and got in a forward progress rush (for no reason).

Ron - thank you! I can see these may be addicting.

RyanGi- thanks!  Hopefully lessons learned will make the next one better.

GeorgeWest- thanks!  Great suggestions. I'm on the Snodgrass FB group and I've watched several of his videos as well as videos by others. Everyone has slightly different approaches. Soaking in the info so I can figure out what works for me. 

Gary G - thank you!  I saw texture on another post and had used it on a sign for a wedding card box. I thought it would give this some interest, AND hopefully help cover the saw entry point (does not, but better than it was).

Steve -thanks. I wish the texture fully disguised my entry cut.  The glue line is still visible but more for woodworkers than others. 

Splintergroup- now that's funny! I expect you would have nested and hidden drawers with inlay and some other amazing design features. Â
