Hey, everyone -
BUffed out the final coat of Danish oil on the 5x7 to 4x5 reducing back I made for the Seneca. I ended up finding a Graflok for the project, which made things go together much quicker:

The base frame is mahogany, mortise and tenoned together:

The little locking pegs for the reversible back are some nails that were lying around, cut and ground. Inside's painted flat black:

After the oil cures for a week or so, the wood's either getting lacquer or shellac as a topcoat. Suntanning the wood for about a day darkened the mahogany quite a bit. Should match the rest of the camera before too long.
This was a fun little diversion while I let other panels being glued up dry for a bit. I appreciate all the help and input folks here gave me on it.
