Finishing

So I go out today to tidy up the rails a little bit more and while I'm sanding, the friggin' tables fall over, sending the board tail-first into the studio wall. I compressed one of the swallow tails about a quarter inch, and gauged 2 bumps out of the deck. I was pretty pissed.

I got it all back on the legs and made sure it was all stable again, then worked all the rails and the deck to try and remove the 'dings'. I slowly finessed the board up and down to the best I could. I am pretty happy with how it is looking.

I still need to work on the tail. as the stringer is sticking out in an ugly fashion.
Tomorrow I'm off to buy a small file from the hardware store to try and file it back a bit.
