Not wanting to stir anybodies drinks.... I thought everyone just got convinced
that it was just as fine to simply re-rib the old panel. So why not just remove
the ribs, machine crown them and glue the whole thing back togther with renewed
crown and save the expense and environmental concerns of cutting down a new
tree.
