Joe,
The substrate material is the least critical aspect of these blocks, as 
long as it's low density. That cap may look sloppy, but will work just 
fine. Mechanically, it's a non problem, and installed, it's not visible. 
So no foul.

Still seems like a terrible waste of good wood and time though, when the 
relatively cheap multilam blocks work so well as hybrids.
