Scott,


A. *Use Two layers of the maple, and skip the plywood, or

2. *Laminate another 1/2 inch thick hardwood to the other side of the * * *
plywood. *The same maple would be the best choice, but another hardwood
would be better than any softwood, or nothing.

Feel free to ignore the voice of experience ;o)


Thanks much. I don't ignore opinions of people who have
been there before me. Your advice sounds great!
