Gluing boards to the leaf 1 frame
After staining the veneer with Minwax Plantation Walnut, I began gluing the boards to the framework, using wood glue supplemented with super glue gel. Once I had the walnut pieces in place along the outer edge and center, I pressed the assembly flat with magazines and waited for the glue to dry.
Once the glue set on leaf 1, I started adding the cross boards using wood glue (and super glue gel only as needed). By having the copy of the drawing underneath, I could see where to apply the glue so it wouldn't seep out. In some areas, the frame seems to show more than I would like but in the end it shouldn't be as obvious.
