A lot had happened with this project since the last time I posted. I cut the sides and glued it all, added corner keys and fixed the worst blemishes in the wood. Then I suddenly realized that I made a boo-boo!! I had been communicating with my client's friend Ed who sent me measurements of his own flag box. I realized that I'd used the inside measurements from the front of Ed's box. The front has a lip which keeps in the glass. What I needed were the measurements for the opening in the back. That means that my box was at least an inch too small all around! I tested with my own flag and thankfully, it fits. The back of the flag had to be finagled a bit and won't look all that great, but that's hidden in the box. Today is final sanding and first coat of finish.
