Nicely done! Did you have any issues with board movement or warping? It looks like your shop is heated so I imagine the wood was already acclimated. I have a problem with my shop being so cold that when I bring finished pieces inside my hot dry house they move around a bit.

[@DeerRiverCraftsman]

Thanks very much...wood will always move between environments, not always the temperature, but the humidity plays a big factor too. Treat yourself to some luxury in the shop though & get some heat! Really helps for glue up & finishing :-) One of the keys for me in combatting movement is the milling process...two stage milling allows any tension to be removed from the boards, which can lead to bowing/twist. Mill once, stack & leave for a day or two, mill again to final dimension. Lastly grain orientation & joining from the same board helps with consistent movement on the piece - assuming movement is going to happen & designing for it is the trick. All that said, the reason I selected Sweet Chestnut for this project is it's one of the better timbers when it comes to movement, and since this piece now lives by the sea, I wanted a timber that would stand up to that, particularly when it just came from my workshop up in the Welsh mountains! haha! Good luck to you!
