your marks. Cut the taper, using either your band saw or a sander. Clean up the wedges with your chisel. Test fit the wedges, as shown in the photo at right.

Finishing Touches

After all your hard work, the last thing you want to do is slack off when it comes to sanding. First, clean up all your edges with a sanding block and a chisel. Next, sand everything, starting with 100 grit and moving on to 150. Hold each piece up to a light, making sure you have all the scratch marks removed. Don't forget to break the edges.

Because this is an Arts & Crafts piece, I decided on a Stickley-style finish, without ammonia's danger. First apply J.E. Moser's Golden Amber Maple water-based aniline dye. Let it dry overnight. Next, apply Valspar's Professional warm-brown glaze. Let it, too, dry overnight. Finally, apply your favorite topcoat. Check out the Supplies box at right for ordering information. For complete instructions on how to create this ammonia-fumed-looking hue, check out "Arts & Crafts Finish" (June 2002 issue #127, available for sale online at popwood.com). PW

Most of the tapered part of the wedges should slide through each mortise.As the wedge gets wider, you will need a mallet and a block of wood to finish pounding them down to a uniform height.
