Dusting off the tools

Getting back into a bit of woodworking. Making a cover to hide wires on a sailing boat. Here's a few picks.

What we are looking to cover up

  The original cover and wood selection. We decided to go with sapele (far left). It's a very nice hardwood often used in guitar making.

 Closeup of the dovetail corner joint. This makes for a very strong joint. Decorative as well.

 Original cover on the right. Replacement cover on the left. Due to some additional wiring a cover with some depth is needed.

Inside view. All that remains is to dryfit the piece. position the holes for securing the cover and a nice finish.
