portable joinery bench build (in progress)

Top of the portable joinery bench, glued and standing up in the leg vise so I can flatten the gluing edge for the next lamination. The body is hard maple, with thin strips of cherry and a single stripe of walnut placed where the dog holes will eventually drill. Cosmetic, but it gives me a visual grid to hang the layout off when I drill. The No. 7 is taking off curls thinner than printer paper now that the iron is freshly honed. One more lamination to go, then I can flip it on its long edge and start in on the leg mortises.
