Now that I'm done with the less complicated part, I can now enter into the finer shaping bit. It takes a while to get used to shaving the ends of the strips to squeeze in to the slender wedge where the one side meets the midline.
The first few strips were kinda perplexing to me cause the strip was width was nearly vertical, so to fit it I had to cut into the thickness of the strip and the width. Pretty much just marked it as best as I could, shaved it with the block plane and tried fitting it about a billion times 'til i got it right.
Here's a picture of a rougher cut. Still gots a ways to go to get it in there perfectly.
