flat tabletop

[Paul]

Terry, Larry
I have one of these tops with the most beautiful 1/8" sag in it you'd ever
care to see. It's on a rolling lab table that is poorly braced. But it
appears flexible enough to straighten. Sometimes its curve is almost a
perfect match for a piano keybed. The idea has occurred to me to make this
top curve adjustable. And oh the graffiti!!!  My My!!!
