About time I posted an update. This photo was taken yesterday and shows the three sides of the box planed to the right thickness. The spalted maple turned out to be very nice, but some pores need to be filled. Also, bottom right, are the three thin cherry pieces that will form the front molding of the box that will keep the glass in place. What you also can't see is the 3/16" groove that I've cut along the back side of all thee sides that will hold the back cover in place.
Currently, the pieces are in the clamps again with the front molding being glued to the sides. The next step is figuring out how to cut the 22 1/2 degree angles that will form the bottom of the triangle. I'll have to do a lot of test cuts as the original pieces can only be cut once.
