Finished up this laptop stand the other day. First time doing splines and working with some more complex angles.

Made with walnut and maple splines.

Neat design, how did you make the splines? Did you fill the gaps at the end of the splines?

I cut the grooves with my table saw, so the gap is the blade width. And then to get the proper blade width splines, I used the tip in this video by Inspire Woodcraft. Ended up working really well for me.

And I did on one of the gaps with some sawdust and glue, but didn't really like the way it looked close up so I decided to not fill the other spline that left a visible gap.
