Nobel Ereader) cases for my wife and myself.
I made Laura's by squaring up a piece of stock, cutting off the top for the "plug" closer.
I then re-sawed the remainder and routed out the interior. Once that was done,
I lined it with felt and glued the two "halves" back together, and then sanded the
pillow shape on the belt sander and the inflatable SS drum sander.
Sorry I didn't take pictures of the making of this one, was in a kind of tunnel vision
gettin' her done ...

I inlaid her "brand" by freehand drawing the pattern onto the wood and routing a shallow groove following the pattern, and then cutting out a piece of Chinese Lilac (a local mahogany) from a tree that was in our garden for decades that fit the groove. It is my first inlay ....

It turned out too arts and craft in my mind, but it works.
My second one was more following Masonsailers2 technique by cutting a long piece of
stock with a tenon running it's whole length. I then cut the sides to length, trued the
length and squared with the disk sander and trued the "square" with the conical disk
(what an amazing device that is ).
