Trying to figure out the spacing for the dovetail on the step.


After using some scrap to make several test cuts I was able to successfully cut the dovetails in the steps.

Had to fix a couple knots on the underside of the step.

Black Starbond jumps in for the quick fix.

Applied three coats of Arm-R-Seal satin.
