I also replaced my
cast iron wings with wings I built myself out of cherry for the banding
and MDF for the surface material.

Y'know, that's a good idea. Dunno that I'd use cherry, but
I have half a sheet of MDF stuck in a corner somewhere crying
for a project to use it on. And slightly wider wings would
be useful.
