I'm just in the finishing stages of a TV Cabinet, it's in a very similar style to the 'Alter' piece i recently posted. Anway when cutting the solid Oak top to size i found this-
Doh!
I had carefully set out the dominos so they were 75mm in from the ends of the finished dimension, unfortunatly i had a brain fart and decided to just trim one end and cut 80mm off the other end when cutting to final size. (This was mainly down to trying to cut out a small surface check, forgetting about the dominos).
So what would you do to solve the problem?
Re make the top or try and get creative?
I decided to get creative and did this-
I cut these from AB Walnut for a bit of contrast and to try and make a design feature of the cock up.
Scribed round with a marking knife and the waste hogged out with a router free hand. It was then finished with a sharp chisel.
All finished-
I should have used a lighter timber for a better contrast, but the piece is Oak and Walnut so never mind.
