Had a last minute change of plans, and decided I didn't want to do the pony wall square opening. Fortunately I decided that before putting the header in, so it didn't have to be redone.
Next on my "lets pull down the wallpaper" list is taking out the rounded corners in the dining room...but it's just too sunny outside.
So, figuring I'd enjoy some sunshine, I pulled my maple slab into the carport and started to work on the bottom side. The proper way to do this would be to lay the slab on a really large flat surface, and use a router and sled to flatten one side, and then the other. But, I'm not a fan of wood dust in the car shop...so screw that! Hand planer, belt sander with 40 and 80 grit, and then the random orbital from 40 through to 120.
Flipped over...and tomorrow I'll start on the topside. That one requires more careful work...
