While the mahogany-tinted poly dried on the dark bronze pieces, I busied myself with another smaller, little project. This is kind of the stage where there will be lots of smaller, little projects, which are just about the right size to fit into my "enjoyment factor" box.
I dug through a little stack of original 1/8" wood paneling that had been removed from this or the other camper and found a good enough size to paste into the right front camper corner. This picture is fuzzy, but we're looking at the smaller of the three chunks on the table.
And a close up. This piece was removed from under Lil' Queenie's galley counter. It acted as a cabinet floor in one spot under the sink to cover the sub-wing jut-out. We figure moving it from the left rear corner of the camper area to the right front, will bring about a sort of spiritual balancing to the camper as a whole. All you can retain of the old is the priority, and hope the energies that come with it brings more happy memories than sad. It was camping! There's likely more of the former. :)
I cut it to "close" and then to "exact" on the table saw and started to fit it. Then I sanded it up, stained, and applied the first coat of maple-tinted poly.
Back side...
This nail hole will be covered by the camper corner interior bracket...
Later we'll get a second coat of tinted poly on and get the panel in place during the right-front camper-corner build in 3. Structure & New Wood.
This area is behind the dinette cushions. It is the only interior corner of the box not hidden by other cabinetry. As stated, there will be an interior bracket found there, as there will be in the other three corners. The purpose and build of these brackets will be in a future post under 6. Jacks & Tiedowns.
Alright, what else before we put up the front wall?
