Robert, Nice critique. I'm going to add a statement at the start talking about wood stability. I think that as long as you let the wood rest for a week or two after initial machining to rough that you can ensure the wood will stay stable. That's how the pros ensure solid wood table tops stay flat. Thick enough stock and a good finish will add to the stability as well. Most hard woods and some of the harder soft woods retain stability nicely when properly treated.

It may be a bit less "Crafty" but at least you are 100% sure it wont twist. The next thing I could say with this design is that you got to be sure that the wood is very straight and stable (dry) choose very carefully. L-shape standard in wood might be a problem if wood is not the suitable kind. Robert Mtl, Quebec On 2/3/02 12:47 AM, "John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nice work.
