Ron said: "Joe, The substrate material is the least critical aspect of these blocks, as long as it's low density. That cap may look sloppy, but will work just fine. Mechanically, it's a non problem, and installed, it's not visible. So no foul. Still seems like a terrible waste of good wood and time though, when the relatively cheap multilam blocks work so well as hybrids." Ron, I agree that the substrate does not need to be as elegant as that. Nor, is it as critical as the top "layer". However, I do, also, believe that the substrate needs to be of a consistant density, what ever that denisty is. the use of high-grade maple is, IMO, not that necessary. The top "layer" does need to be of a high quality and consistant throughout, IMO. I think we are both on the same page. I was just inquiring why the top layer was inconsistant, that's all.<G> Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
