More tender work 
-----Most older tenders had wood frames, usually made from oak with iron bracing. to simulate this I took some thin veneer and cut in into twelve inch withs ( a common with for this application ) and glued it down to the tender frame with some CA type glue. I tried to stagger the ends just slightly to accent that they are separate boards. If you get the chance check out some old tenders at a museum and you'll see this detail.
I have more pics to post ,,but now it's time for dinner ,so I'll post them latter.
