Ash top

After ripping 1/4 inches from the ash pieces, the next part was joining the top pieces together.   That is pretty difficult.  We did this by hand. So I learned how to plane wood with a plane, and even a razor blade to make sure both pieces join together perfectly.  You also have to make sure you look over the piece of wood to see what grain patterns you want.  You get to know wood.  Once the two pieces fit, then you glue and clamp. Once that is complete you sand.  Then you can hardly see the joint.  The picture here is the ash top.
