Cutting Wood Continued

I used my router along with a 1/8" roundover bit on all the outer edges that face forward. I used two clamps, worked between them, moved the clamps and repeated the process. This worked out well and didn't take long. 
 

Now it's time to cut my piece to fit into the rabbit. I'll be using 1/4" MDF for a couple of reasons. First, MDF is very flat and this is important because I want my pattern to sit nice and flat. Two, I'll be gluing my pattern and again, this will work well. I clamped my straight edge to my work piece but had a clearance problem with my saw. To fix this, I used my four foot scale against my straight edge to give me the clearance I needed.
 

Now that the back is screwed in place, it's time to start making all the pieces that make-up my Chevron pattern. I'll be using cherry and alder for this. I thought these two species would have a nice contrast together, with cherry being slightly darker.

I had to move my planer to this unfamiliar location because my boards were 10 feet long. My back was against the side door (while taking this picture) and if you notice the out-feed side will just clear my red tool box.
 

These boards are about 3/8" thick but all I wanted was the two species to be the same thickness. In other words, just a clean-up on both sides. This arrangement worked out pretty good so I'll have to remember this if I work on some long pieces again.
 

I cut all lengths oversize by about one inch and will bring them to length using my miter saw when I cut the angles. As you can see I've already cut the width on my table saw, which is 2.706. Yes, I know this is a random size but this is what I came up with when I was drawing it in my CAD system.
 

Here you can see these four pieces will have the same angle on both ends. But all the rest will have a combination of 55 on one end and 35 degrees on the other. Also, I'll be alternating species of wood along the way for some contrast.
