vaccum pressing on the veneer for the graphic

Started by gluing together a few different species of 3/4 solid stock hardwood.

Once glued up planed it flat.

Then re-sawed it in half.

And planed some more and used a drum sander to get down to just over 1/16”

Layered with some Baltic birch 1/8” plywood. Two straight grain and one cross grain.

My press

Glued with titebond poly glue. Or I’ve used titebond 3

Trace pattern and cut out on the bandsaw 1/8” from the line.

Belt sander to dial in the shape and a 1/4 round over along the edge

Drilled hardware holes and used a grinder to add wheel wells. Also first coat of finish on the bottoms.

Added top coat of finish with lucid grip
