And glued up w a little extra modern thinggi  What you see isn’t super glue don’t worry. It’s actually shellac. I had some very minor gaps in a few places so I use shellac like a super glue and dust fill. Works good. Doesn’t wick have everywhere under the sun! Sands off level easily and sticks to whatever sanding sealer comes later Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Lookin' good, Snow! I like the limba. Dots in the center for my vote, offset looks cool too. Alan |
