So, I was wondering what to do with the seasoned walnut piece since I was not going to have a case sill. I decided on two things. First, I tested several bead strip designs and then made-up two moulding strips long enough to go around the clock case. My thinking is that the bead moulding will go on the top front of the base face directly under the moulding. This will give me an accent piece that also covers-up any differences between the moulding and the base. I'll dry-fit it tomorrow when the moulding assembly has dried. If I don't like it, I'll try something else. Secondly, I made-up some support pieces and glued them to the inside of the base. These will give an added assurance that the top-frame won't fail [I always plan for the worst-case]. Click on photos to enlarge and don't forget to read my earlier blog below.
