Circle library, angled dividers
The original inspiration had 18 dividers, but my version has only eight for balance and fit. I cut the angled details for between the circles from 1 1/2" trailing edge balsa, cutting it down to fit. I don't usually work in balsa since it damages so easily, but this comes precut at a good angle and you can find it in varying widths. I basically needed a skeleton for the final finishes.
I covered the sides of the angled inserts with peel and stick wood using additional adhesive just to make sure the bonds will hold over time. I again used the Elmer's stainable wood glue. To finish the front edges, I cut shapes from 1/32" basswood to match the laser cut circles. I think this is a good approximation of the original.
