The Ways of the Wood Elf

Decided to play around with some of the hantavirus-soaked scrap wood that used to be the garage shelves, and use some to practice a bit of joinery.


Turned out not half bad I think. The only major gaffe was not realizing that the dovetail gauge has two different angles per side, so the tail is a little bit on the uneven side. This has been duly noted for next time. I also could have been a bit tighter on the trimming, and trying to clear out the middle by cross-cutting with the chisel really didn't work out as well as I hoped (and I had low expectations to begin with).
