Easel Leg Sample Piece
Austin, TX

I was trying to explain to Rachel exactly what my idea was for the easel legs that I've been working on. It's been a fun process since she's been eager to learn some woodworking and I'm all too happy to teach.

So I took a small piece of the remaining walnut, performed a 1/4" deep dado cut down the center line, and fit it with a matching piece of pine.

The pine was glued into the dado cut, clamped, and left to dry overnight. The next day I showed her how to make the various cuts so that the two pieces would appear as one.

I didn't spend the same amount of time that I will for the actual project this is part of, but I also showed her how the various sanding efforts will go. I went through 220, 320, 600, and 1200 grit sandpapers and then used my mystery oil.

The end result was phenomenal and that's just with a cheap piece of pine scrapwood.

I'm planning to purchase some kind of maple to inlay the walnut with.
