I’ve got all the pieces cut to size for this mailbox. Now I’m going back and cutting the angles so I can match the style of the old mailbox—and all the others in the neighborhood. It’s starting to come together!

Getting these walnut splines in place! They’ll reinforce the miters while adding a really nice accent to the frame. I can’t wait to see how that walnut pops once we get some finish on this map! 🔥🪵
