163 - Calendar Frame Pt. 2

The second and final part of the series focuses on the calendar frame details. We start by creating the front loading slots, then move on to creating the curve in the top rail, and finally we create the small pencil groove in the bottom rail. The frame is then glued up, the back panel is cut and installed and the roundover profile is routed on the perimeter. The finish for the maple frame is Sherwin Williams CAB Acrylic Lacquer (we'll discuss the role of flatteners) and the finish for the white oak frame is Watco Teak Oil. Want To Build Along?
