So, as I think I mentioned, I actually paid for some wood last week -
The stuff on the left is oak, on the right is some cherry. Both grown locally.
I started chopping some of the cherry, and slapped some oil on it just to get an idea, although I'll finish it properly for the final parts, and use different oil also.
Anyway, today -
And the test fit -
Reasonably happy about that.
I've got to machine a few more parts for the project, but that's the wood bit done (or half of it, there's another mirror part for the other end)
Will post some more photos next week when the fancy oil has turned up and I've done the rest of the metal.
