Well here is the trimmed base on it’s on to the veneer part of the base .
I have a bunch of walnut flooring that i will cot into 1/16” veneer and than glue in a fish bone pattern to the base , wish me luck .
Any advise on this is appreciated .
Now here are a few pis of the trimming process .
The ends of the base are a simple cut with the circ. saw and a board for a guide and the saw set at 45 DEG.
The sides are done with a router and top bearing flush trim bit in three cuts so as to not overload the router.
I attached two bevel strips to the router base to keep the router in a constant relation to the pattern .
The base rough cut with the jig saw and the pattern attached with screws .
Here is the top and bottom base pieces finished trimmed and after sanding and filling ready for veneer and the drawers and feet .
Not sure about the feet but I am sure I will get some comments on that .

Have you ever done any hammer veneering?
This would be the perfect place for it although 1/16” may be a little thick.
Looking very impressive so far.

This is all coming together very nicely Kiefer. I’m really looking forward to the veneering process. This project is interesting all the way through.

Very nicely done. Have you thought of setting the base “on end” instead of the way it sets now? Just a thought as that’s all I am doing today because I am darn near FROZEN !!!! LOL
Great work so far and I always pick up good tips and ideas on new ways to do things as I follow yor blogs. Thanks

Kiefer,
Your project is looking good! I gave some thought to your mention of the feet. I came up short! Every idea I cold think of … I had to scrap! Until I thought maybe you don’t need feet! Maybe just a simple cut might work.
Just a thought I’m sure you will find a solution. This is great watching your work come alive!

I guess I was to slow about the feet, I was going to suggest what woodshaver mentioned . This is very well organized craftsmanship and sure the finished product will get alot of yeas and ahs.(SPL)
