Good job getting the old piece out.

I did not use solid wood but rather purchased a piece of 4X8 foot sheet of ribbon stripe sapele plywood, The cost was $140. and I have used the extra for other projects. Solid wood is too unstable to use on the top of the console; it would shrink,warp, expand and ruin the top structure.

Peabody is on the north shore and more than 100 miles away from me.
