Good point. Consider, though, that you could put a couple of holes in your

harsh for the wood, but ymmv.

Thanks, thats an item I hadn't thought of.

What are you doing about dog holes in the middle of the bench? I can't
readily visualize how one would do that with a torsion box.

More solid blocks filling in the webs. My webs are 5.5 inches square.
I'll fill in every other (maybe every third) web in with a solid block
that I will drill for dogs.
