<p>Thanks Frank for the quick reply. Its only been 2 days since I glued it up, so it has a ways to go. I'll give it the full 2 weeks. Patience isn't always my strong point, so I'm glad I asked.</p>

The pic can't show the depth, and it might be necessary to add some finish in there before all is done.</p>
