PBJ dash mod!
That did turn out really well.
Could you give a little more detail on which materials were used please?
Wood, glue, and sealers.
Maybe a bit on the construction, and attachment?
Biscuit joints, attachment just screwes or is there reinforcement.
Please keep us updated on the durability, I forsee this being a "thing"!
well done sir!

As far as construction and "how to" you guys would have to figure out how to make it. It takes knowing what angles to cut and where you need it cut. I have had multiple jobs in a verity of trades in carpentry. Most of all in making and building custom stairs that taught me a lot on the custom end.
the lumber is old growth red cedar and pine. I used tightbond wood glue. I didn't use any nails just wood screws to attach around by the gages. I used about 10 half inch screws to attach the dash to the metal on the underside. The finish is many coats of semi gloss polyurethane.
I really would like more people to do this. It is not for someone to do as there first woodworking project.

Old saying: "little calk puddy and paint make a carpenter what he ain't"
my brother is a welder he thinks all my welds suck but they hold. I do enjoy it though working with my hands is in my blood. The secret to being a "good " carpenter is to hide your mistakes.
