Moral of the story, don't use wenge! 😂
Nicely done! I hate when something looks flush, but then you run your finger across and feel the bump.

But it’s so prettyyyyyyyy! Albeit splintery haha
Thank you! Haha I know, it’s the worst! So much time on minor adjustments

I love the ingenuity and getting it done mentality...I don't love sharp chisels pushing towards your body on a slippery marble top.
Not trying to be the safety police and I love the new channels popping up, but maybe using a counter along the wall with a cutting board against the back splash serving as a stop would be a good practice to all the fledgling kitchen woodworkers...

The good news is, you don’t have to use your chisels in the same way that I do :) As a professional woodworker and furniture maker whose been doing this for many years, I know my strengths, weaknesses, and how to work within my limits to stay safe
