That is the begging of an R2! Yeah doesn't look like much but I promise it will start to be one. I also had the wooden legs cut at the same time however I never took any pictures of them. This picture was of the frame before glue up. I did not document my glue up mainly because I screwed up and didn't wait for the skins like I should have and got in a hurry and now I have a few blems to fix.
