Today was the day to wrap up a project in the works for more than a year.  The J-couch had a large unused space closed in with an upholstered panel.  It was the perfect space for a basket full of Sam's toys, but the steel couch frame needed a little dressing up.

I reclaimed some 1/2 thick inch oak from the furnace vent diffuser we removed a while back.  Joani made a template which helped immeasurably since there were very few square corners.  There were several options for attaching the trim to the frame, but they each had issues.  At least I am going to claim that as my reason for taking so long to finish the job.  It was finally installed using some twist tie wires that are completely hidden.  I think that might be the last woodworking project around the coach for a while.
