The back bevel....




Yesterday, I cut the kerf for the beveled back and bent it. This is the scariest step in the whole process.

I cut two kerfs -- one vertical to the right depth and one angled to meet it at the bottom. Then I flip it over, weight the end and heat the outside of the kerf with a wet, cloth-covered oven element. When it heats up, it gives way in under a minute. Voila.
