I'm sure I'm not the only one that has gotten pretty far down the road on a project and had something happen to make you change the design. And a lot of the times it is probably someone who wants to add or change his or her mind. Or might be a slip of the chisel, a wrong measurement, etc. So if you have a creative ad-lib, how about sharing it.
Here's a box I made for the LOML Our Lab died a year ago and she wanted a simple walnut box with a "single greeene and greene thing" and I should not hide the joints. So I get it done, with a wide rabbit for the top to be glued to the rails, and show it to her. "Where are the little black squares?" And back to the shop I go. Show it to her again. "Aren't there supposed to be black swoops on the top too?" And back I go. Now, the top was made with the very last piece of this particular walnut that I got from a guy down the street, so I couldn't make another one. So I glued on some ebony eyebrows. Showed it again. She liked it. Success. Not a particularly elegant or great box, but I think a pretty decent "audible".
