Thanks everyone. I was excited to see it when the dust cloud settled.

Joe, After the template is perfected, use the template to mark the lumber, cut the lumber with the resulting pieces being slightly oversized. Then clamp or double-stick tape the template to the piece and use a template bit in a router to trim the piece to exactly match the template. It is a really h...

The deck is on the rear end.Now I'm anxious to round over the edges and smooth the surfaces (not gonna use the S word).

Looks great. Tom

Shawn,

Public Lumber on 7 mile at I75 has mahogany. Also www.theworkbench.com (Johnson's Workbench) in Charlotte, MI has the lumber you need. I got all my lumber and plywood from them and they will deliver on their truck to Toledo.
