Not bad! I like it. If the block seems otherwise solid, rout 
off about 9mm from the top, plug with multilam, and recap with 
9mm Delignit. The other option is cutting the thing out and 
duplicating, which brings up the side mortises. If there's 
room for a shelf on one end but not the other, it can still be 
mortised into the side without the shelf (with work), but it's 
going to take a while. I don't typically recommend plugging, 
but this could be a reasonable exception, especially with the 
added strength of the one piece Delignit cap. Good thought Ken.
