Fairing the Cove

I got busy with my new router table tonight and further faired the cove on my pictureframe. I used a 1" Core Box bit to get the cove as close to a 'curve' as possible. I'd simply raise the bit a little and move the fence a little and keep making passes until all of the sharp edges were gone.

As you can see in the foreground of the picture, there is still a good bit of wavey-ness in the cove. I will shape the rest of it by hand with a convex spokeshave, sandpaper and scrapers.

Also, I glued in the Cocobolo inlay. It's starting to shape up!
