My first Gold Crown refurbish

[rexus31]

Decided to resize the pockets to 4.5". The ends of the rails were soft to I trimmed them back and added oak to extend them. The rails still had some soft wood so I chiseled that all out and filled it with oak as needed. I sanded it down smoothe but no pics.

Nice! Did you adjust the angle of the pocket openings? When pockets are reduced in size, it's sometimes necessary to alter the angle of the pocket cut so they aren't too wide. If they are too wide, you'll be left with the Olhausen Rattle. What are the pocket angles in the corners?
