Thanks for the advise, and yes perhaps next time I will buy or make make one as per the suggestions. I do have 2 more Boesendorfer blocks to do..... But....I have already made and fit this block, done. It is 3/8 delignite over 1.5 inch bolduc block. Was hoping on thoughts on drilling for this particular thing actually laying in front of me. Bolduc's drill bit reads .255. Lots of give in the maple...not so much in the 3/8 delignite top. Perhaps a very tight collar at the top will feel good, perhaps I should redrill the top 3/8 with a second pass and a bit correct for the delignite..... I have extra material and will make up a sample the experiment with, but some of you have been here before and have opinions on this... Thanks Dave Renaud
