YAK-PROOF I'm a Flemish geographer with a communication background working as a kind of man-do-it-all... I'm always working on something, many pojects at the same time. Peace of mind: the small lapse of time after finishing a project...

Step 6: Raw-sanding
In this step you'll sand the 'cartouche' into it's final shape. Round the curves of the heart first. Than sand it to the thickness you want - mine is almost 1 cm (0.3 inch). This step is boring repetitive: sanding, releasing the pressure of the screw, verifying if the two halves correspond exactly, re-pressuring the screw, resanding etc. When the thickness is ok, you'll sand the edges. Keep on sanding, verifying, re-sanding etc. Start with heavy grain and go finer and finer. Be patient, take your time.

Step 7: Assembly
You're ready to put the screw definitively on it's place. Put some sealant or glue in the enlarged hole in the inner side of one of the halves. Put some oil in the enlarged hole in the outer side of the other half. The glue will hold the screw in place on one side, the oil will lubrifiate it on the other. Put the screw in place. Not too heavy, not too soft. Let it dry.

Step 9: Oiling
I used natural oil - as always. You know the smell? It's the smell of victory!!!

This is very nice (the geek in me wants to replace the bolt with magnets...), but I'm a little confused about the start.
Why did you cut apart the piece of wood, then glue it back together, only to trim it down to a piece smaller than either of the first slices you cut? Have I missed something vital there?
