You should end up with something like this....

A few taps of the dead blow hammer..... you should get something like this....

Time for the real deal....

Since my panel is 11-1/4" and the piece of wenge that I'm joining to it is only 3/4", I needed to make sure the wenge was firmly in place behind the panel, and adjusted in there with the spacer block.

I used a couple of pieces of wood (not necessarily scrap) that was planed earlier to the same thickness as the wenge & sapele panel as both a spacer and a hold down for the 3/4" piece of wenge behind the sapele....

All systems go!

A few tedious minutes later....

A few more tedious minutes later.... and this was the result I was looking for.....

Phew! Four of these and I was ready to go home and watch some football....

It'll be a little while before I get on to the next step... I have a few other (day to day) things to get done.... as you can imagine, this requires all of my attention.... no multi-tasking allowed here... lol

Thanks for following!
