First picture is as she was found, then glueing her back together, before lots and lots of cleaning with denatured alcohol and finally sanded and ready for staining(when my ordered stain arrives).

Don't you just love tie-downs? So useful even without a truck! I didn't realize the cutouts for the fiddlebacks weren't curvy, just straight on the sides. That is interesting to me. Keep the updates coming!
