   Thanks. This is great info.

Dale,

I worked with one of these in the 80s, and the case sides  are built up over 
the pinblock, and the case side covers a large bolt that  goes down through 
the pinblock into the front extensions of the rim.  Get  some nice veneer that 
matches before you begin!

The stretcher design is  very strong, so don't approach this as if the design 
is flawed, only that the  piece of wood that this stretcher was made from had 
a problem.  Your idea  of using pinblock wood is fine, but getting a nice 
veneer over the edge of  fine laminations can be a problem.

Good  luck!

Don
