Gotta love curl.  Unless you carve like Ed Wenger or Jim Kibler, and then you might want some fairly plain wood.   :-D   God Bless,   Marc

Yip,

Don't worry about the mess.  My Dad use to always say that a messy workbench was the sign of a busy worker.  And his corollary was, if you need something done, give it to a busy man...there is a reason he's busy !

Looks like my bench. Since I built my gunstocking horse, my benches have become pretty bad. I was just over to Allen Martins shop yesterday. His bench makes me look like a total mess. You could dang near eat off it. BJH

The progress so far looks like it'll be a very slender, petite Bucks County LR. Are you planning on an upper forestock molding or is it done but doesn't show? A forestock molding adds to the slender look. On most BCs it was just an incised line but I usually did a concave in relief molding. Is a Pbox planned.....a side opener isn't that difficult to make....it's just a lid and tells everyone that it's a BC. Looking forward to when it's completed .....Fred

My Aunt used to say that "a messy desk is the sign of a "cluttered" mind". That was a very "negative" statement for her to make.
