Nice board Mike. What did you use for the edge piece? Is that some kind of re-purposed molding or did you pre-shape the piece before you glued it up? Also, could you post a photo of the rail profile on that board when it's finished? Thanks. |

the edge piece started out a 1/4 sheet of 5/8" thick birch ply cut and shaped then glued to the bottom. the rails will be shape last. diamond shape like this <> 2/3 on top with 1/3 on the bottom. this board cost me sofar $23 for 1/4 sheet of 5/8 birch ply and the bottom is also 1/8" birch ply at $11 some glue and sandpaper $5 and varnish about 1/4 qt about $5. for less then $50 you have a nice spooney.( you could use regular ply for $10 less but why, birch is so much nicer MRMIKE  _________________ PAIPO ON
