Well after working on the weekend I got it done.
I decided not to redo the mistake. I am sure there are others in the project too
It was fun to do and I have learned lots.
Number one thing I learned....... I have NO business sense!

I orignally estimated $80, but that was in 1/8 inch veneers.
The change to 1/2 " was my choice.
I spent as much time making the pattern as I did cutting it out.
The wood cost me $13. I have some left over for another project.
Probably spent 20 hours on the project.
Mind you if I took a 20 hour course on woodworking it would cost me more than the $80 I was going to charge.
Well the bottom line is I am upping my price, which is OK with the person who commissioned it.
