The last piece of rosewood edging is glued in place. I really enjoy precise work like cutting and fitting this edging - it's quiet, I'm working with hand tools, and the results are well worth the effort.
The View From Down Under
Here's the view from below of the bit buried in the fence and sub base. This fixture can be reused in the future with different bit reveals just by shifting the router/sub base and reclamping into position.
Routing The Case Edges
Here's the setup I used to rout the edges of the case to accept rosewood edging. The router bit (in this case a 4 flute end mill) is buried in the cherry L shaped assembly as well as the birch plywood router sub base. So it's a zero, zero clearance setup for really clean, consistent work.

Groovy Edges
Back after a week in lovely Rockland, Maine. I'm working on the rosewood edging that will be applied to all visible corners of the case.
