Great discussion topic folks and kudos to my chuko brother John Budday for starting this discussion.
I would be willing to do what little I can to donate time and material to the cause. I agree with Mark, there should be a time and place for test fitting. For that matter would it make more sense to coalesce timber material in one area and do all the layout and cutting one time at a guild redezvous? Just a thought. Either way Mark, I would be will to coordinate my efforts with you since we are in the same region. As it stands right now i have some Balsum fir I could donate.

Keep up the good work
Ian
