neck & tail block cut & glued

linings glued to top edge



top cut out & planed a bit......

rosette cut out & laid on the top.....

I'm trying to get as much done as I can before Thursday because then I'll be locked out of my workshop for two weeks (it's tough being a teacher!!)

realistically, I hope to have the back fitted to the body, and the rosette inlaid. Time will tell!!
