Making A Concertina Pad Board

[@mattmilford8106]

I would be tempted to press and glue in a short section of brass tube for the pads to seal on instead of relying on wood grain. Thoughts? Is this overkill?

Indeed, I've considered things along these lines, though that does sound a bit finicky. What I've started doing since I posted this video is scraping the surface of the wood flat, then filling the grain completely with a low viscosity epoxy that's designed specifically for sealing and grain-filling wood. Once the epoxy is cured and sanded flat the sealing surface is pretty ideal.

I got something out of this!

Haha, that's good to hear, cheers!
