I went to the LHS to day and sorted thru every piece of the correct size they had. I think I got lucky. I found (2) 1/2"square pieces and (2) 1/4 x 1" T.E pieces that are very close to true <1/16" of crown and real light weight no visible grain stock. I sat on the floor and dug thru their stock.


I have the new stock lightly rubber banded together hanging from a hook straight up and down. Don't wan't introduce any issues now.


The original pieces are still drying taking up my board. I will wait more before I pull them. They may rescue and they may not. But now they are not going to hold me up.


Got a church event tonight. so all will wait till after.
