Cavities Covered

After a little more sanding and scraping, I've finally glued the cavity covers in place - with a generous helping of wood glue and several dictionaries used to ensure uniform pressure all the way round each glued joint!

The end result has turned out pretty well, in most places the join is almost flush with the body surrounding it. Some areas are slightly proud of the surface of the body and will need sanding down a little, and in one or two places they're slightly below the surface - neither of which really matters too much. There are small gaps between the edges of the covers and the body, since inevitably the covers weren't a perfect fit, but nothing a little wood filler won't sort out.

All this was done a couple of weeks ago, but I've been distracted from this project (and from blogging about it) by a new project...more on that soon!
