    Looks good. Just a word of caution. Those large knots visible in the photos are questionable and a good place for the legs to fail. I had a hard time finding knot free wood and ended up using C fir with no knots.

    Olddog thanks for the advice I didn't even think about the knots in the wood when I was looking. I was looking for straight boards. Thanks fjrpilot
