Thank you - I will definitely be attempting this again with what I learned.

I have a dedicated router table.

Very nice...the design is eye-catching for sure. I really like the look of the corners. Nice job!

Hah- the walnut square corners came about when I accidently routed away the lip that holds the cover in place in said corners :)

I wanted to have half lap miters on that lip all the way around but I sequenced it wrong so I had to hide it with something !

You can kind of see it here in this earlier stage pic. The corners are just gone.

It looks pretty good , really good for the first try. I'd be lucky to get something that good on the second try.
