That bracing...and the solid 45. Shoot that's nice Triticum. Trying to imagine that ear goodness! Tuned

Thanks!  The solid 45 is there so I can trim back the front edge quite a bit to fit around my tailgate latch.  

Here are some more pics, the glue up is finished.

More progress, glue up is all done:

Time to clean up the edges some:

I need to cut a relief to clear my tailgate latch:

Time for a test fit:

Now I just need to make it pretty.

Put some more time in on the box.  I cleaned up where I had to cut a recess for the latch and filled everything in with body filler:

Did a lot of general surface prep, filling, sanding, etc.  Now its time for the fun stuff, some Lichtenberg pyrography:

Its a multistep process, here it is after being cleaned up:

And after some stain, the stain makes the wood look dull, but it will brighten up after some clear coat:

Put some clear on it and go it taped off for paint.

Got the first coat of primer black down:

I'm going to spray it in black Duratex, which should look a million times better than the black paint does, but it helps me see where I need to do some more filling and sanding.

Here it is after spraying on the black Duratex:

And after removing the masking:

So far I'm pretty happy with it.  I have some more cleanup to do and then I plan on carpeting the bottom and left side of the box.
