- The result is a long block which needs to be sliced.

- The clamp and guide block allow me to make consistent slices each time.
- I attach the block to my table saw sled with a clamp so my fingers aren't close to the blade.
- Once the amrs and legs are in and the corners chopped off of the block, I start glueing on the outer band made of cherry.
- Next, I glue in the arms and legs, one at a time. The wood this year is purpleheart.
- I start with a 3 foot long square piece of maple, cut off the top to put the "head" in, and then glue it back together

- After the cherry is glued onto the block, I plane off the excess cherry to make the angled corners.
