Thanks,
That picture doesn't really do it justice, the flash shows off flaws that are much harder to see. The color is also *much* darker than that. I like the construction technique because it doesn't require as much precision. A belt sander with a heavy grit is your friend.
It's 3/4" material screwed together using countersunk screws, filled with Bondo, belt sanded smooth and then routered with a 1/2" roundover bit. Use a hole saw in a drill to cut openings, then router those too.
If you use yellow wood glue, wait a couple of weeks before painting to let the glue eek out, then sand it off. For some reason, that glue always eeks out of the joint just a bit.
