Practice
This is the joint I want to use on the doors. I saw a source for a set of router bits that will do this, but I figured out how to do it by hand. The outside wood is Walnut, the inside is Butternut. Finish s shellac
I have a plan on the drawing board that is going to require some decent skills making doors and also in drawers and boxes in general. Rather than practice on just scraps I tried to figure out something useful to make and help me develop the skills I need. So these are the practice objects. I’ve probably made five or six vaiations on the box, and three samples of the picture frame (pretty close to the doors I plan on making). I am only showing you the ones I want to. The other thing this approach is helping me learn is how to give something a good shellacing

The picture frame and box. Getting a few of these built gave me some good practice doing the joints I need for my next procject. Also practiced brushing on shellac.

...and on. The woods are Walnut and Cherry. It really is worth the time to figure out how to put on a nice coat of shellac. I am limited in what I can use, and this gives a good alternative to drying oils and water based stuff.
