A new job in my shop, I'm making a case for a birch bark lure from Naturinstrumenter.no  going to Sunnmørsmuseet. Doing some box joint by hand, but I do not practise this enough! I will advise everyone to practise the different woodworking skills as much a possible, it takes practise... An update from the project in photos. Please comment or if you have any questions feel free to contact me! Finished job, all birch, inside and out! The instrument itself, birch lure.  Oiling with Finishing oil    Getting somewhere!   fitting the lure  lining the lid with wool baze usually used on sneaker tables!

First  job is to attach, line up and drill holes to the  buttplate.   Then I screwed it to the stock with the mahogany piece in between. To get the extension to fit I simply marked around, both the stock siden and the rump plate side. Then it was all sandpaper to get the right fit.       I  put on three strokes of dye (Liberon Edwardian mahogany) before oiling it with Liberin Finishing oil.  I also rubbed the stock with 00 steel wool, before applaying three layers with finishing oil. Remember to have a quick rub with steel wool between layers.   Three layers of Finishing oil.     The forestock is also in need of some care... Finished, didn't match the colour of the plate too well, but the fit is perfect!
