Remember The Marlin?

I nearly forgot to blog about this...not much to say, but last week I filled the gaps around the edges of the cavity covers on the back of the Marlin.

Filled, pre-sanding:

Sanded:

There are a couple of bits that will need a bit more, not least (see above) the bit in the middle of the rib cut where I had accidentally chipped away a bit of the top layer of wood, and possibly the cavity covers themselves, but it's nearly done.
