This is a continuation from https://steemit.com/marine/@billbutler/eventide-panel-project-part-1.

I sourced some really nice wood from <a href="http://www.funktionhouse.com/">Funktionhouse</a> in St. Petersburg, FL. I also used <a href="http://www.stpetemakers.org/">St. Pete Makers</a> to trim the wood to fit. Special thanks to Erica Moulton for her help.

My plan is to replace this old panel:

With this really cool wood:

So I used this saw located at the St. Pete Makers space:

I also used an orbital sander and some Minwax Paste Finishing Wax to smooth the board after cutting it to size. Check out the final look. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

And finally, here is the panel, all wired up but not yet fully installed. The next episode will hopefully show the entire panel wired into place. after I cut the hole for it in the wood.
