Certainly some work in finishing it, this pic makes it look like it was made with a blunt chainsaw

There is some (read a lot) of work to do on the front end especially the Vents I am just waiting for my Bro inlaws Bro to have a spare moment so we can use his router table.When that is done the wet sanding filler should be cured and I will be able to continue with the process.
