When Julian first started to work with this walnut block, it already had a natural split. While this posed no immediate risk to the piece, he decided to use a dovetail key in the opposite side to support it. As the surface of the piece is curved, a number of test pieces were needed to insure the bow tie locks were tight and neat.
