Thanks Guys, it's good to know I'm getting a little closer, Glad to hear it's a little stiff near the fades LOL that's the problem I had with the other 2, TOO much bending there
Scott, You are absolutely right about gluing on the riser after glue-up I do think it looks nicer that way. I just don't feel confident with the tools I have to make the fit look good, so I compromise and glue it on square.
I've only got 2 pounds to lose so I'll do a few scrapes in the stiff areas and call it good on this one. Still contemplating on a cut-out shelf.....
