This prototype is solid 1.125″ thick poplar. It also has box joint corners and a piano hinge.
I am using my old artist oils for this decorative paint job. I went to the art store for a new paintbrush and noticed that they now sell “water- mixable” oil paints. I am curious how those work.

Is that for us? You shouldn’t have! It’s awesome! Nice work. Will look great in the boy’s room. How thoughtful!
Thanks Duncan
