<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Look again closely at the picture - you can see
that the routing only went a bit more than half way through the rail. The
maple insert strips are just a half-inch thick - just the thickness that the
rail pin bases are long.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>IMHO, a new rail would have been much more

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The new pieces seem to be the full depth of the
rail, not a routed out section?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Or did you just leave a minimal amount, that can't

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The end result, obviously justifies the
means.</FONT></DIV>
